The center-right European People's Party (EPP) remained the largest party in the 720-seated European Parliament, projected to have secured around 185 seats. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, a member of the EPP, was unequivocal in her assessment of the results. "We won the European elections," von der Leyen said as the results were still being tallied on June 9. "This election has given us two messages. Firs...
