How has Brothers of Italy performed in European Parliament elections?

Brothers of Italy, which formed in the wake of Silvio Berlusconi’s resignation as Italy’s prime minister in 2011 in an effort to sever ties between the Italian right and Berlusconi, won 6.4 percent of the vote in the European Parliament’s 2019 election. That result, combined with the party winning control of two of Italy’s 20 regions in 2019–20, demonstrated the increasing popularity of Brothers of Italy, which went on to win the 2022 Italian national election with 26 percent of the vote. In 2024 Brothers of Italy received the most votes among all Italian parties in the country’s election for the European Parliament.
