The deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani he will be the leader of Forza Italia in all constituencies, except in the Islands. The secretary of Forza Italia himself anticipated it, during the national secretariat, before the National Council of the party, at the Hotel Parco dei Principi, in Rome «I will commit myself throughout Italy – he then said in his speech to the National Council of the party – even in the only constituency where I didn’t think it was right to run, in the Islands, where there is less space and it is right to give space to local representatives. I asked one person to lead our list, because I want our commitment to be clear, and that we do not deny anything of Silvio Berlusconi’s battles once morest the mafias and every criminal organization. That’s why I asked Caterina Chinnici to lead the lists in the constituency of the islands. If we reach the 10% threshold in the European elections, we will reach the 20% threshold in the general elections.”

Bonaccini leaders in the North East

«The elections of 8 and 9 June are a decisive challenge for the future of Europe. And we must deploy all the best energies we have. For this reason I asked Stefano Bonaccini to lead the list of the North East: his ten-year experience as president of Emilia-Romagna and his role as president of the Democratic Party make him a very strong proposal for the battle we must wage and the Europe we want to build. I thank him for accepting.” PD secretary Elly Schlein stated this in a note

PPE strategic choice

«Forza Italia wants to build a future – added Tajani – which is based on values, we want there to be a sharing of values ​​and projects of a political force that wants to build, not that wants to go once morest anyone. To look to the future we need strategy and political vision. I remember when many years ago Berlusconi he decided to let FI join the EPP, and that was a strategic choice, and I believe that today as then it is the most useful for Italy. We are ready to open up to all forces that believe in European popularism.” The deputy prime minister and secretary of Forza Italia then specified: «We need a more effective and efficient Europe capable of achieving useful objectives for its citizens. So more Europe, but one that works better”
