Overview

  • M5S members in Tuscany voted 1,538 to 1,030, or 60 percent to 40 percent, to verify the conditions for joining a coalition with the Democratic Party in support of Governor Eugenio Giani.
  • The SkyVote consultation, launched by party leader Giuseppe Conte, was open from 21:00 on August 6 to 18:00 on August 7 and resolved internal dissent from local groups in Livorno, Carrara and Empoli.
  • By framing the question around verifying conditions rather than a direct yes or no, the party preserved negotiating leverage over policy details of the joint ticket.
  • Governor Giani welcomed the outcome as a boost to progressive unity and a step towards a “more just, modern, green and united” Tuscany.
  • The result clears the way for a unified PD–M5S path in the autumn regional elections and reflects broader center-left efforts to present an alternative to the right.
