The elections in the five smaller municipalities were marked by victories of the Communist Party and its front organization, the Slavic-Italian Anti-Fascist Union. The Communist Party won 57% of the votes in Muggia (8,039 votes, whilst the Titoist FPIS obtained 1,387 votes), and the Slavic-Italian Anti-Fascist Union won 33% of the total vote in Duino-Aurisina, 55% in San Dorligo della Valle, 51% in Sgonico and 97% in Monrupino. These results were heralded by Pravda as a victory for the Communist Party. ==References==
