2024 European Parliament election in Piedmont

The 2024 European Parliament election in Italy took place on 8–9 June 2024. In Piedmont, the ruling Brothers of Italy came first (30.4%), followed by the Democratic Party (23.0%) and the League (10.3%), which reflected its status among the Italian regions closest to the national vote. Similarly, Turin, a major Italian city and capital of Piedmont, reflected its status as a centre-left coalition stronghold, with the Democratic Party as the largest party (29.8%) and a large majority for the parliamentary opposition and left-leaning parties (62.7%). Voter turnout was slightly above the national one, which saw a sharp decline. Ultimately, only one Piedmontese was elected to the European Parliament.

Results

Overall

Reflecting its status as a relatively swing region fairly close to the national results, Brothers of Italy came first with 30.4% of the votes, followed by the Democratic Party (23.0%) and the League (10.3%), represented by the Piedmont League in the region.[1] Under double digits were the electoral list of Forza Italia and Us Moderates (9.9%), the Five Star Movement (8.0%), and the Greens and Left Alliance (7.5%).[1] Below the national electoral threshold of 4% were United States of Europe (3.9%), Action (3.2%), Peace Land Dignity (2.3%), Freedom (0.9%), Popular Alternative (0.4%), and Valdostan Rally (0.2%).[1][2] Overall, the turnout was in line with the national one, which represented the lowest in the history of the European Parliament elections in Italy and was under 50%.[2]

While in 2019 the region of Piedmont elected three members of the European Parliament, this was reduced to one in 2024.[3] Giovanni Crosetto of Brothers of Italy, a member of the liberal wing and critic of apology of fascism (for example condemning the commemorations of the Acca Larentia killings with the fascist salute) who is the nephew of the defence minister Guido Crosetto,[4][5] was elected with around 34,000 preferential votes in the North-East Italy constituency, of which 19,643 in Piedmont.[6]
