European countries, Censis raises the alarm: “Southern Italy is part of the Bermuda triangle of economic hardship”
The European elections 2024 in Italy recorded a particularly low figure in terms of the turnout. At a national level, the 50% threshold has not been exceeded (49.69%), a fact that makes the “party” of abstentionists the first in the country. But if in the constituencies of North he was born in Center at least the fateful threshold of 50% has been exceeded, al South and on IslandsHowever, the drop in voters was decidedly significant. In the South they went to the polls 43.73% of those entitled, things went even worse on the islands: just 37.03%. The Census (Socio-Economic Research Institute) plotted a profile of this population who chose not to go to vote.
Poor people without prospects; young people not even reached by politics; idealists – reports La Repubblica – with no more ideals, with some disorientation to the left. “They are the abstentions for this 2024“, says Massimiliano Valerii, general director of Censis. On May 2, in his Report on the “State of the Union”, the Census had predicted a decline in what is the Bermuda Triangle of economic hardship: “In the last fifteen years, a third of European citizens have suffered a visible reduction in disposable income. And these families are largely concentrated in Spain, Greece and here with us, in Italy“.
