ROME (AP) — Italy's Premier Giorgia Meloni suffered election setbacks in two regions as the opposition Democratic party won a tight race in the central Umbria region and deepened its control of the traditional left-leaning stronghold of Emilia-Romagna. The results of the two-days of voting that ended Monday were a clear victory for Democratic Party leader Elly Schlein, who called the outcome “extraordinary.’’ Stefania Proietti won with 51% of the vote in Umbria, compared with 46% for the conservative coalition’s candidate. In the northern region of Emilia Romagna, the left’s candidate Michele de Pascale won 57% of the vote, improving the party’s 51% result in the last regional vote in 2020.
