Italians seemingly voted in droves for eurosceptic movements as they went to the polls to decide on their latest government.
Italian Election results have shown over 50 percent of the electorate have voted for a eurosceptic party, with League and Five Star Movement taking the largest share of the votes, according to preliminary calculations.
The Italian Election was a hot topic at the Commission’s midday press briefing, however, the subject prompted a deafening silence from chief eurocrat Mr Juncker’s spokesman.
On no less than five occasions, Margaritis Schinas told journalists he would not be commenting on the Italian Election.
He shunned questions on the rise of populist and eurosceptical movements across the EU and general questions on election.

Mr Juncker’s spokesman did, however, react to the news by saying: “We understand the official results will not be announced until later today.
“We have confidence in President Matarella’s abilities to facilitate the formation of a stable government in Italy, and in the meantime Italy has a government led by Gentiloni, with whom we are working closely.”
Other important figures in Brussels have, however, had their say on the Italian Election results as they threatened to shake up the EU.
Nigel Farage, who leads the EFDD group in the European Parliament, congratulated Five Star Movement, whose MEPs also sit in the group.
Mr Farage said: “congratulations to M5S in topping the national poll.
“This is a huge surge for eurosceptic and anti-establishment parties.
“The EU’s misguided immigration policy is leading to great resentment and will spell its end.”
The Italian Election results also prompted a shock admission from Germany MEP Hans-Olaf Henkel, who urged Germany to “get out” of the euro.
He told Express.co.uk: “The majority of Italian Election results are critical toward the EU, even against the euro!
“All politicians promised the moon to the Italian voters. The results will mean even higher debts than those 130 percent of state debt today, further deterioration of competitiveness of Italian industry and more unemployment.
“But Italian president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, will print even more money.
“In the end, the eurozone will be the ideal transfer mechanism from the north to the south.
“That’s why Germany must get out of the euro now!”
