Chega celebrated Italy’s “turn to the right” and considered that the results of this Sunday’s legislative elections in this country pave the way for “a political reconfiguration of Europe”, predicting that they will also have consequences in Portugal.
“We are sure that these winds of change will reach Portugal and that the Portuguese will also have the right to turn the page and elect whoever is capable of defending their interests,” the Portuguese far-right underlined in a statement.
Chega salutes, in particular, “the vote obtained by his European counterparts, led by Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini.”
“The results obtained by Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini in the Italian elections pave the way for a real change of policy in Italy and, at the same time, for a political reconfiguration of Europe”, underlines Chega.
The party led by André Ventura assures that, after Sweden – where there was also a victory for a coalition of the right and extreme right in the legislative elections of September 11 – “now it is Italy’s turn to give another clear signal that the Union European continent is undergoing a profound change”.
“Voters trust more and more in parties that defend, without reservation, the sovereignty of their people, their traditions and civilizational values, as is the case of Chega em Portugal”, they defend.
The party congratulates Giorgia Meloni and Matteo Salvini “with great enthusiasm” for the results obtained and expresses the hope that “they will be able to quickly form a government and give the Italians a strong, stable government solution capable of facing the difficult times ahead. are coming.”
Chega has already called a press conference for Monday with the party’s president, André Ventura, to address these results, among other issues.
The right-wing and far-right coalition, led by the Brothers of Italy party, may obtain between 41% and 45% of the vote in today’s legislative elections in Italy, according to exit polls.
The survey by the Consorzio Opinio Italia for the Rai television network, quoted by ANSA, points to a result between 25.5% and 29.5% for the center-left bloc, led by Enrico Letta’s Democratic Party, while the 5 Star Movement will have between 15.5% and 17.5%.
On the right, polls show between 22% and 26% for the far-right Brothers of Italy party, led by Giorgia Meloni, while Matteo Salvini’s League gets between 8.5% and 12.5%. . Silvio Berlusconi’s conservative Forza Italia party collects between 6% and 8% of the votes in this study.
The first official results of the legislative should only be known during the early hours of this Monday.
The abstention rate could be around 36%, nine points more than in the 2018 elections.
According to Rai, the survey has a margin of error of 3.5%.
More than 50 million Italians were called today to vote in these legislative elections.
Due to partisan fragmentation, it is likely that neither party will obtain a sufficient majority to govern alone.
The right and the extreme right have reached a coalition agreement that could bring Giorgia Meloni to power and become Italy’s first female prime minister. The coalition is made up of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s conservative Forza Italia party and Matteo Salvini’s League, known for his harsh anti-immigration policy.
