Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's ruling coalition passed a new electoral law late Wednesday that opposition parties say is designed to entrench her government's power by guaranteeing a parliamentary majority for any coalition winning over 40 percent of the vote. The center-left Democratic Party and other opposition groups accused Meloni of manipulating election rules to prevent the left from gaining power, while government officials defended the measure as necessary to ensure stable governance.
