After 185 million votes in 27 countries in the elections for the European Parliament, politicians across the bloc are taking stock. With far-right parties winning many seats, how can European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen manage the rocky road ahead? In 2019, pro-EU, liberal, green, and populist parties made substantial gains in the European elections. In 2024, the vote is more fragmented, with centrist and traditional parties suffering stunning and significant losses and many seats going to left-wing parties and right-wing populist parties. At the least, this means that von der Le...

A new parliament is being shaped around the powerful central European People's Party group with its coalition Socialist & Democrat, green and liberal allies, but with a strengthened far right adding fresh impetus and uncertainty to the process – all of which could affect the development of financial policies over the next five years. While there is growing desire among lawmakers to focus more on enforcement and implementation before more regulation, there are widespread differences among the political groups on how to boost longer term economic growth. “One key reason for Europe’s poor economi...

Far-right populist parties performed exceptionally well in the European Parliament elections, finishing first in France, Italy, and three other countries. They won nearly a quarter of the seats in the Parliament, just behind the center right. With Europe already reeling from Russia's war in Ukraine, the threat of a second Donald Trump presidency in the United States, stagnant living standards, strained welfare systems, and extreme weather events, nationalists pose a severe threat. These parties are often sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin and downright hostile to green policies, m...

Belgium's king appointed Bart De Wever, the president of the Flemish-nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), to explore coalition possibilities. In a surprise result, De Wever's N-VA beat the far-right Vlaams Belang party in the EU elections last week, which means it remains Belgium's biggest political party. King Philippe met with De Wever on Wednesday afternoon who instructed him to "identify parties wishing to quickly form a stable coalition at the federal level." He will report back to the king in a week's time, on June 19th. Flemish nationalist parties dominated the elections as Prime Mi...

Last week's European Parliament elections toppled the French government, shifted European legislation to the right, yet kept mainstream bureaucrats at the steering wheel. 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...

Bulgaria's centre-right GERB party has received the most votes in parliamentary elections marked by voter apathy and low turnout. The results have produced yet another fragmented parliament, which will likely be unable to end a long-running period of political turmoil. Many observers predict another snap parliamentary election later this year. The winning GERB party - led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov - will need at least two partners to form a governing coalition. With 64% of the votes counted, the right-wingers received 23.7%, followed by the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and ...
