The institution’s chief spokesman has denied that the elections can be understood as a “trial” of European politics.
After yesterday’s victory of the extreme right in the elections in Italy, the European Commission expects “constructive cooperation” with the future government, which will presumably be led by the leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, Giorgia Meloni, after it has been the most voted party with 26.2% of the votes.
“The Commission and the president work with the governments that come out of the polls of the elections of the EU countries and it will not make a difference in this case. We hope for constructive cooperation with the new Italian authorities,” he said this Monday. the institution’s chief spokesman, Eric Mamer, at a press conference.
The spokesman for the Community Executive has denied that the elections can be read as a “trial” of European policies: “Seeing in these elections a kind of trial on Europe seems to me, in any case, an extreme simplification.” He has recalled that Brussels never comments on the results of the elections in an EU country and has assured that it would be “very presumptuous” on his part to “try to analyze” the reasons that “have led Italians to vote as they have done “.
On the other hand, Mamer stressed that “the Commission is working extremely hard to try to tackle the problems faced by Europeans as a whole and Italians in particular”.
