European Parliament election, 2004 (Italy)
(Redirected from European Parliament Election, 2004 (Italy))
Elections to the European Parliament were held in Italy on June 13, 2004. Italy's highly fragmented party system made it hard to identify an overall trend, but the results were generally seen as a defeat for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and a victory for the centre-left opposition coalition identified with Romano Prodi, who is currently President of the European Commission but is widely expected to re-enter Italian politics at the next election.
