Italians seemingly voted in droves for eurosceptic movements as they went to the polls to decide on their latest government.

Italian Election results have shown over 50 percent of the electorate have voted for a eurosceptic party, with League and Five Star Movement taking the largest share of the votes, according to preliminary calculations.

The Italian Election was a hot topic at the Commission’s midday press briefing, however, the subject prompted a deafening silence from chief eurocrat Mr Juncker’s spokesman.

On no less than five occasions, Margaritis Schinas told journalists he would not be commenting on the Italian Election.
