In Italy’s EU election, abstention passed 50% for the 1st time: not from indifference or circumstance, but from aversion and long-term erosion of trust & efficacy, towards the EU and politics in general.

Today & tomorrow Marche votes! Once a left-wing region, it swung right in 2020 with Acquaroli. Dubbed Italy’s “Ohio,” it opens with Aosta Valley an autumn wave of regional contests with national weight. Acquaroli is 1 of 2 FdI governors, same party as PM Meloni. Pre-election polls attached.

The post-electoral honeymoon is over for the Meloni government.
A longitudinal survey by Demos shows how Italian trust in the administration has steadily dropped to levels similar to the pre-pandemic Conte II government—markedly lower than during Conte I, post-pandemic Conte II, and Draghi's terms.
