Our guests for this edition are Tom Vandendriessche, Flemish MEP from the Identity and Democracy group, Sophia Russack, researcher at think tank CEPS and Eoin Drea from the Wilfried Martens Centre. Panelists gave their takes on the results of EU elections, with hundreds of millions of Europeans turning out to select their representation at the European Parliament. "I would say that the EPP [European People's Party] did better than predicted, but the centre holds," Sophia Russack said, adding that polls had proved largely accurate. Eoin Drea, whose think tank represents the centre-right EPP, st...

Does the centre-right need the support of far-right lawmakers to govern and to secure Ursula von der Leyen's second bid for the helm of the European Commission? Radio Schuman asked the centre-right European People's Party's (EPP) secretary general about this and more during a post-election event at the Microsoft centre on Thursday (13 June). We quizzed Thanasis Bakolas on how the EPP is working to tie down the necessary support in the European Council and those European Parliament votes it needs to secure von der Leyen second term in office. We also dig into the EU Court of Justice ruling cond...

Europe woke this week to a rightward-shifted European Parliament, although the so-called ‘grand coalition’ between the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP), the centre-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and the liberal Renew Europe group still stands, with just over 400 lawmakers between them. Most of the rapporteurs – the lawmakers in charge of steering a file through Parliament – on key technology dossiers in the last mandate emerged from the EPP, S&D and Renew groups. But Renew, as well as the Greens, lost significantly in the EU elections. Some marginal parties which previously impa...

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...

With a right-leaning new European Parliament emerging after EU elections preceded by thorny diplomatic discussions among member states on key environmental policy files, speculation mounts as to the future of the European Green Deal, the von der Leyen Commission’s ambitious programme to reach carbon-neutrality by 2050 and reverse biodiversity loss. Conservatives and the far-right, political groups that have been either sceptical or outright hostile to the Green Deal, have gained seats in many countries, to the detriment of the liberal Renew group and, in particular, the Greens – a new status q...

2024 will be remembered as the year of global elections. And so far, it seems determined to live up to that billing, with a series of democratic events that feel hugely consequential for the future direction of our world. From Germany to France, Italy, the Netherlands, the US and the UK, a key part to this is the rise of a populist, nationalistic, far-right faction. We simply can’t ignore the fact that these voices are becoming a significant part of the political landscape, although the extent of this varies from country to country. For instance, the European Parliament elections this week saw...

A new far-right candidate for Commission President? A new super group of the right in the European Parliament? Marine Le Pen has been in Brussels celebrating her electoral success with far-right colleagues. With her National Rally now one of the chamber’s largest delegations, we spoke to its head Jean-Paul Garraud to find out how it’s trying to flex its power. On the other side of the political spectrum, the Party of European Socialists' secretary general Giacomo Filibeck spoke exclusively to Euronews on party strategy ahead of the new European Parliament mandate. Many in Brussels may be hooke...

The roster of 720 MEPs elected this week includes two who may be celebrating more than most – as they’re currently under detention for alleged criminal activity. Ilaria Salis, of the Italian Left party, and Fredi Beleri, a candidate for the Greek centre-right New Democracy, will soon be heading to take up seats in Brussels and Strasbourg. Both seem set to be a thorn in the side of the countries where they were arrested, with both Hungary and Albania facing significant questions over judicial independence. “We are very happy about the election,” Salis’ father Roberto told Euronews. “I hope she'...
