Marche in the district of central Italy
For the European elections, the Marche region is included in the Constituency of central Italy, together with Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio. Two regions, the latter, decidedly more populous than ours. Therefore there could be an additional difficulty in electing an MEP from the Marche region. The last to succeed in the feat, twenty years ago now, was Luciana Sbarbati. And, in any case, the turnout data – in these elections polarized by national leaders – must be read with great attention by the parties.
