In the centre-right coalition Forza Italia surpasses the League with 9.7 percent against the Northern League’s 9.1 percent. The result of the 5 Star Movement was disappointing, falling below a double-digit percentage (9.9 percent). A success instead for the Green and Left Alliance which, thanks to the candidacy of Ilaria Salis, goes beyond 6.6 percent. On the other hand, the reformists at the center do not exceed the 4 percent threshold, both the “United States of Europe” of Renzi and Bonino, stopped at 3.7 percent, and in that of the “We are European” list of Calenda at 3, 3 percent.
Giorgia Meloni, as was easy to predict, is the absolute record holder for personal consensus: she is preparing to exceed 2 million preferences (in the North West constituency she obtained 582,565 votes, 379,253 in the
Lombardy), having lined up as the head of the list in all five constituencies. The prime minister, however, will give up the seat to other members of the list and despite her excellent personal performance she does not come close to the record of personal consensus established by Silvio Berlusconi in 1999: three million votes. «Giorgia» effectively cannibalizes the other members of the FdI lists, who are very distant in terms of personal votes.
Roberto Vannacci’s result is highly anticipated, both within the Lega and beyond: the general surpasses everyone, exceeding half a million votes with a record in the North West constituency.
In the Democratic Party, Marco Tarquinio’s experiment stands out – but in a negative way: the former director of Avvenire, who has taken openly pacifist positions but is also very critical of the rights of homosexual couples, risks not being elected. In the central Italian constituency Tarquinio does not exceed 27,000 ballots and is overtaken by six other party comrades. On the contrary, the Dem voters rewarded the other “external” candidacy, that of Cecilia Strada: in the North West the daughter of the founder of Emergency collected 235,000 votes and clearly surpassed the second-placed candidate, the outgoing mayor of Bergamo Giorgio Gori.
The journalist Lucia Annunziata was instead elected to the European Parliament on the Democratic Party’s list. This is what Youtrend says in a post on its X account. According to the calculations, the outgoing mayor of Florence, Dario Nardella, would also be elected.
On the contrary, again in the Democratic Party, the exploit of the mayor of Bari Antonio Decaro emerges, at the center of a controversy with judicial implications during the electoral campaign. A stumble that did not affect the popularity of the candidate, to whom the electorate attributed 482,900 votes in the southern Italian constituency. Decaro leads the entire party to a surprising result: Puglia becomes the second “red” stronghold after Emilia Romagna and before Tuscany. The first citizen of Bari gets double the votes of the other big name on the list, Lucia Annunziata and four times as many as Pina Picierno, outgoing parliamentarian in the house of the dem.
Elly Schlein, candidate in the Center and in the Islands does not exceed 200,000 votes; she does better than the secretary Stefano Bonaccini who in “his her” Emilia her brings home 380,000 preferences.
Another name that animated the electoral campaign was that of Ilaria Salis. The activist who is under house arrest in Budapest has undoubtedly contributed to the success of the Green-Left list: when the data from a few hundred sections are still missing, the activist exceeds 164 thousand votes in the two constituencies where she is a candidate with Avs, the North -West, where it is the leader, and the Islands.
In Forza Italia the record holder of preferences is Antonio Tajani (but he always remains below the 100,000 mark in the constituencies in which he was in the running, except in the South, peaking at 130,000). In the North West, Letizia Moratti does not shine (but she is third with 36,000 votes) while Umberto Bossi’s last-minute endorsement in favor of former Northern League member Marco Reguzzoni does not have miraculous effects: 6,700 votes, too few.
However, Matteo Renzi’s personal result did not help the cause: the former prime minister attracted 150,000 preferences on his name but the United States of Europe list remains below the threshold of 4%
In the M5S the only name to emerge is that of the former INPS president Pasquale Tridico, capable of amassing 115,000 preferences in the Southern constituency.
