The Council of State, Italy's top
administrative court, on Tuesday referred to the Constitutional
Court an appeal by the small rightist Brothers of Italy party
against a 4% entry bar in European Parliament elections. The
appeal had previously been turned down by a regional
administrative court (TAR). The Brothers of Italy (Fratelli
d'Italia, FdI) have for some time been campaigning against the
bar, which ruled them out of the EP in the last elections in
2014.
