The Italian Green Party has failed
to get its ticket onto the roster for the May 25-26 European
Parliament elections, parliamentary sources told ANSA Thursday.
There was a technical hitch with the required signatures for
the small Green Italia-Verdi Europei party, they said.
The Italian Greens have never polled as high as their
counterparts in most other European countries.
The Greens' spokesman said they would appeal the
disqualification.
The European Green Party has almost 20% of the vote in the
EP, while the Italian Greens are polling at 2-3% and do not have
a representative in parliament.
