Rome
Matteo Salvini, who in 2018 shook Europe, has lost a lot of his influence in Italy.
He will probably be a minister in the next government of Giorgia Meloni.
But behind the victory of the Italian right in the elections of September 25, he is the big loser: the "Salvini Premier League" collected only 8.8% of the votes, against 17.4% in 2018 and 34.3% in the 2019 Europeans. Faced with the 26% collected by the head of Fratelli d'Italia, Giorgia Meloni, this collapse aroused within a monolithic League the first serious questioning of its leader.
Because the most bitter failure was in his homeland, northern Italy, where the regions are run by the League.
Fratelli d'Italia won two to three times as many votes as her.
This is the case in Lombardy (27.6% against 13.4%) and in Veneto (32.6% against 14.6%), a stronghold of the League yet reputed to be eternal.
