Overnight came the first reactions of the political leaders after the outcome of the European elections. The leaders of the political forces that achieved results beyond expectations or at least satisfactory results spoke out. Among those who were not happy were Giuseppe Conte for the 5 Star Movement and Matteo Salvini for the League. Here are the main hot statements.

Giorgia Meloni, President of the Council and of FdI

'Italy presents itself at the G7 and in Europe with the strongest government of all, it is a satisfaction and also a great responsibility'. So said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is also the president of FdI and the candidate for the leadership in all constituencies, commenting on the European elections at the party's electoral committee. "I want to say thank you to that majority of Italians who have continued to choose Fdi and the centre-right, I am proud of the result also of Forza Italia and the League, that the majority that governs this nation has managed to grow together. It is a message coming from the Italians, 'go ahead' and do it with more determination if possible." "The system is becoming bipolar again, that's good news, there are visions that oppose each other and on which the citizens are being asked which side they are on. Today they told us that they are on our side."

Elly Schlein, secretary of the Democratic Party

"It is an extraordinary result for us, we are the party that grows the most since politics, the distance from Fdi narrows," said Pd secretary Elly Schlein at the Nazarene. "We feel even stronger responsibility to build the alternative, we will continue to be stubbornly united, we feel even stronger responsibility to build the alternative. The sum of the opposition forces exceeds that of the majority'. In Europe, 'the Pse holds, no majority is possible without the Socialist and Democratic Group, we will see if we will be the first or second delegation'.

Antonio Tajani, Foreign Minister and leader of Forza Italia

'They gave us up for dead, instead we are alive and well. We are close to the target I had set, it confirms that we are aiming to reach 20 per cent in the political elections,' said Forza Italia leader Antonio Tajani, in the party headquarters: 'We are very satisfied with the result that is coming.

"We take note of the result, certainly very disappointing", "we could have done better". "The citizens' assessment is unquestionable" and "we will start an internal reflection", said M5s leader Giuseppe Conte commenting on the Europeans at the Movement's headquarters. "Dialogue with the Pd? Dialogue with progressive forces does not depend on an electoral appointment', in any case 'it will be increasingly intense as we have to take responsibility for offering the alternative' to 'this government'. "In Europe we will be in the progressive area" and "we will try in a difficult balance to bring our weight to bear".

Matteo Salvini, Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and League leader

"For the past year everyone had been giving us up for dead, but we are alive and kicking," so the leader of the League Matteo Salvini at the party's headquarters in Via Bellerio in Milan. "I am commenting on the projections," he added, "if we are even a '0 point' above the result of the policies the satisfaction is there. 'I hope for a compact centre-right in Europe, possibly in the majority, but without making downward compromises with the socialists. I am counting on the centre-right not splitting in Brussels, given the damage done by the Von der Leyen Commission over the past five years'. The candidature of General Roberto Vannacci? "Vannacci approved by voters, both leghist and not".

Nicola Fratoianni and Angelo Bonelli, leaders of the Green Left Alliance

"Based on the first projections, what is looming for Avs is an extraordinary, extraordinary result. It is in a worrying picture of Europe. If there is a loser it is the Macron-Scholz war axis,' said Sinistra Italiana leader Nicola Fratoianni at the Avs election committee in Rome.

"We thank all the Italians who have put their trust in us. This extraordinary and important result we must ensure that it can grow more and more. Ce n'est qu'un debut continuons le combat,' added Green Europe spokesman Angelo Bonelli.

'War,' explained Fratoianni, 'brings nationalism and the right. When you field another proposal, however, the results come. And the result this evening seems to have come for us, for a proposal that had the courage to dare'. 'We are building something,' Bonelli added, 'extremely important in the country, in the face of the right-wing offensive that through the factory of lies wants to question fundamental issues such as the climate crisis. On this we want to continue to unite around us an important project to protect democratic Italy and the great questions for the future of Europe. We say no more to an economy that risks turning into a war economy. I think we must interpret these concerns. And today this extraordinary and important result we must ensure that it can grow more and more. We have to build a democratic front in the face of a right-wing that wants to rout the institutions of this republic. And we are convinced that this is a signal, a signal on which we are moving forward'.

Matteo Renzi, leader United States of Europe

"Nothing, it went badly. Unfortunately, the United States of Europe list narrowly missed out on the European Parliament. I am very sorry, and I would like to embrace the volunteers who put so much effort into this idea: you were wonderful. The gratuitousness of your service enlarges the heart. One by one, I would like to embrace the thousands of people who wrote my name on the ballot paper: I am truly honoured to still represent the hope of so many people even if I would have preferred a few more votes for the list'.

This was written on social media by Matteo Renzi. "The absurd break-up of the Third Pole weighs on the Italian result: we could have had seven reformist MEPs, together. Instead they are zero. What madness. But the citizens have chosen, and the citizens are always right: I wish the elected to honour their commitment in Strasbourg and congratulate them most sincerely".
