The geography of the vote: Fdi, first in the North-East. Pd first in the South. Fi flies in Sicily

Even in the Northeast Fdi goes beyond 30% (31.9%, the best result among the five constituencies) and beats the PD by 6 percentage points. In Veneto, Fratelli d'Italia confirms and strengthens its supremacy with a peak of 37.6%, while in the League there is no 'Vannacci effect' and the Carroccio (third) still falls in the percentages but avoids overtaking Forza Italia. The Pd remains the second party in the region, confirming the percentage of the previous European elections but increasing compared to two years ago. The Green-Left Alliance did well and the 5-Star Movement collapsed further.

In Emilia-Romagna, the Pd (first party) and the centre-left are already looking ahead to the next appointment, the regional elections to be held in the autumn. In fact, the President of the Region Stefano Bonaccini (covered by an avalanche of personal preferences) won, as was widely expected, a seat in the European Parliament in Brussels and his mandate will thus end a few months ahead of its natural expiry date. The Pd obtains 36.1%, which means eight points more than in the politics of two years ago. Avs also grows (6.5%), while M5s drops to 7.2%. The centre-right is also doing well, with Fdi gaining three points (28%) compared to politics, also at the expense of the League (6.5%). Forza Italia was substantially stable (6.1%).

As mentioned, Tuscany is one of the regions (together with Emilia Romagna, Campania and Puglia) where the PD is the first party with 31.91%, down from 33.3% in the similar round in 2019. In second place is Fdi with 27.42%, making a leap forward compared to the previous European elections. In 2019 Giorgia Meloni's party obtained 92,233 votes, standing at 4.93%, and today it makes a "substitution effect" compared to the League, which in 2019 "flew" with 31.48%, while today the Carroccio stops at 6.21% (in line with the political ones), trailed by general Roberto Vannacci , voted by 37,028 voters. Slight decrease for Fdi compared to the 2022 political elections when, in the Chamber, it obtained 487,339 votes (26%). Third political force in the region is M5s, which scores 8.2%.

Fratelli d'Italia remained the first party in Lazio, but the PD and the Green-Left Alliance also grew, while the M5s fell. The League is doing better, but is overtaken by Forza Italia, which in the province of Latina is even the second largest party, overtaking the Dems. The capital, Premier Meloni's city of origin and traditional electoral centre of gravity of the right wing, ensures the primacy to Fratelli d'Italia.

In the southern constituency, the supremacy goes to the Pd with a narrow margin over Fdi: 24.% against 23.6 per cent. A counter-tendency to the national result accentuated by the Campania where behind the democrats comes Movimento 5 Stelle (20.7% is double the overall average), while Fratelli d'Italia is third. Here United States of Europe is above the fateful threshold of 4% with 6.8. The 5 Star Movement is the first party in Naples and province with almost 25 per cent. In the capital city, an important result for Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra at 12.75, which almost reaches FdI at 13.25.

The Calabria rewards the majority parties. FdI, FI and Lega improve on the figure obtained in the political elections two years ago. The first party in the region is Fratelli d'Italia, improving by more than a percentage point on the result of 2022, followed at a short distance by Forza Italia-Noi moderati, which collects twice as many votes as the Azzurri at national level, while the League grows by almost 4 points.

In Apulia, the personal affirmation of the outgoing mayor of Bari, Antonio Decaro, drives the electoral result of the Pd, which becomes the first party in the region, more than six percentage points behind Fratelli d'Italia, passing from 16 to 33.5% of the vote. Instead, the M5S (which is still the third party) collapses. It remains below 4% (although it exceeds it at the constituency level) Alleanza Verdi e Sinistra.

In the Islands constituency Fratelli d'Italia (21.25%) is the first party followed by Forza Italia allies (20.3%). The Azzurri, however, can boast the supremacy in Sicilia. Even in Sardinia (the region with the highest rate of astensionism), however, Fratelli d'Italia is the first party, but trailed by the Pd by a few votes. M5s, the party of the region's president Alessandra Todde, holds on.
