Forza Italia has presented its electoral program ahead of the 2024 European elections, where they will run in tandem with Noi Moderati.
The official lists for the European elections confirm that Secretary Antonio Tajani will be running for Forza Italia, alongside other prominent figures such as Letizia Moratti, Roberto Cota, Alessandra Mussolini, and Flavio Tosi.
Within the European Parliament, Forza Italia is part of the European People’s Party and aims to secure a double-digit result in order to send as many MEPs as possible to Brussels and Strasbourg.

Let’s delve into the main proposals outlined in Forza Italia’s electoral program for the 2024 European elections.
