The excellent exclusion of Matteo Renzi And the election of Dario Nardella. The European vote in Tuscany is characterized by the challenge between the two last mayors of Florence: the first, the former prime minister Renzi, was unable to overcome the threshold with the United States of Europe alliance. The second, however, enjoys the excellent result of the Democratic Party – the first party in Tuscany – and is moving towards the proclamation with 60 thousand preferences (98 thousand in the entire constituency). Good possibilities also for the Fdi group leader in the Region Francesco Torselliin an internal competition with the other Melonians of the constituency, while the outgoing Northern League member risks not doing an encore Susanna Ceccardi. The general will certainly be elected instead Roberto Vannacciwho has his residence in Tuscany, although it is not clear in which constituency his seat will be held.

To the second place Dario Nardella, with more than 60 thousand preferences. The outgoing mayor manages to get many more votes than the secretary of his party, Elly Schlein, with over 50 thousand preferences. Roberto Vannacci is off the podium: the general candidate as an independent with the League collects at least 30 thousand votes.
Giani’s compliments to Nardella, Renzi’s disappointment
The first to compliment the outgoing mayor of Florence in the middle of the night is the president of Tuscany Eugenio Giani, who posts a photo with him and offers him congratulations. Finally, bitter the disappointment of Matteo Renzi: «The Italian result is affected by the absurd breakdown of the Third Pole: we could have had seven reformist European parliamentarians together. And instead they are zero. What madness” said Matteo Renzi, standard-bearer of the United States of Europe in Central Italy: the list has not reached the threshold of 4% of the votes at a national level, and therefore does not elect European parliamentarians.
«We fought – the leader of IV wrote on his Facebook page – we expressed ideas in which we believe, we put ourselves on the line. We didn’t have a quorum, what a shame. But today we will not stop fighting for this idea of Europe, the only one in which Italy can play a leading role. We will find ways to insist on the cultural and values battle for a different Europe.”
