If in Lazio Brothers of Italy is clearly the first party, a Rome city is neck and neck with the Democratic party. The two lists are currently divided by just under 14 thousand votes in favor of FdI (29 percent against 27.5 percent). In third place the challenge between 5 Star Movementa sharp decline compared to European elections from five years ago, and Greens and Left Alliance, which well exceeds 10 percent. Collapse it League by Matteo Salvini, which goes from 25 percent in 2019 to 4 percent today.
Pd, good but not great: decline compared to 5 years ago
Elly Schlein he can celebrate, therefore, for the Roman result which sees the dems paired with the list of Giorgia Meloni? Until a certain point. Because, thanks to the record abstention in the capital, the votes for the Democrats will be largely lower than those won in the city at the 2019 European elections. And for the Dems there is also a setback, compared to five years ago, in percentage terms.
In 2019, in fact, the then secretary Zingaretti won 30.62 percent of the preferences in Rome. A result that, even if only slightly, will not be achieved. And in terms of absolute votes (with 100 thousand more voters throughout Rome) the Democratic Party had won almost 340 thousand votes and has currently obtained 240 thousand (89 percent of the sections scrutinized).
The definitive results of the European elections in Italy, party by party: who gains and who loses seats
For Meloni votes quadrupled compared to 2019, League collapse
AND Giorgia Meloni? If it is true that the figure for Rome is lower than that recorded throughout Lazio (and especially in the central areas of the capital), Brothers of Italy it almost quadrupled the votes in percentage terms compared to 2019: 29 percent, more or less, compared to 8 percent in the previous European elections. In reverse, Matteo Salvini’s League collapsed from 25 to 4 percent. Bad, but in line with the result of five years ago, Forza Italia, which will achieve a percentage between 4 and 5 percent.
The Greens and Left Alliance boom in Rome, 5 Stars decline
As anticipated, it is a challenge for third place between Greens and Left Alliance And 5 Star Movement, both lists well above 10 percent. If for the 5 stars it represents a sharp retreat compared to the 17 percent of 2019, for the Greens and the Left it is a real exploit. In the eighth municipality, that of Garbatella, Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra, it is even at 16 percent and in the third municipality it is at 12 percent.
Bad, even in the capital, though Matteo Renzi And Carlo Calenda. Both Action and the United States of Europe stood at just above 4 percent. Even in the central districts the percentages remain more or less the same.
Chaos IT systems, slow results
The results of 66 percent of Rome’s sections were uploaded to the Capitol website (at 12.00) and all the preferences are still missing. It is due to a failure in the IT systems, which slowed down operations throughout the night. Due to these IT problems, the Capitoline councilor for Personnel, Andrea Catarci, apologized: “We apologize to all the staff, the chairmen of the polling stations, the representatives of the Mayor and the employees of the other services, for the wait and the inconvenience. , whose responsibilities will be duly explored, following the close of voting”.
