European elections: here are the results
The results of the elections for the renewal of the European Parliament in Italy speak for themselves: Matteo Renzi's PD triumphs with 40% of the votes, followed by the 5 Star Movement led by Beppe Grillo, which "stops" at 21% despite high expectations . Forza Italia is in crisis, and gets only 16% of the votes, while Alfano's party, which separated from the party founded by Silvio Berlusconi, reaches 4.4%. The new party born to support the European left of Alexis Tsipras travels on the same values, which with Syriza obtains 26% of the votes in Greece, becoming the first party. In fact, the other Europe with Tsipras obtained 4% of the votes, returning to the quorum set at 4%.
And in the rest of Europe? The results seem very different, with a general victory of Eurosceptic or even strongly nationalist parties, such as the French National Front led by Marine Le Pen, which becomes the first party in France with 25% of the votes. the most severe defeat is that of the Socialists of President Hollande, who get only 14% of the votes. Even in the United Kingdom the first party is that of Eurosceptics, Ukip in fact obtains 29%, surpassing the Labor and Conservative parties, currently in government .
In general, in the European Parliament there is a certain success of Euroscepticism and nationalist and protectionist pressures, which see the euro as a bringer of crisis and poverty. With the current data, the parties opposed to the euro and to integration would get between 130 and 150 seats, while the majority still belongs to the EPP, the European People's Party, which in order to govern will probably have to ally with the second elected party, the European Socialist Party (PSE) led by Martin Schulz.
