German Chancellor Olaf Scholz began his European election campaign on Friday, warning against the next president of the European Commission seeking backing from far-right parties, projected to make major gains in next month’s vote. European left-leaning parties are urging mainstream conservatives and liberals to reject alliances with far-right parties following the European elections. A major rightward swing could pose challenges for the next EU Commission president, who must secure approval from a majority in the new pan-European parliament. Leading the 27-bloc effectively might prove difficu...

The next European Commission will be more right-wing than the current one, Nicola Procaccini, co-chairman of the Conservatives and Reformists group in the European Parliament, tells Euronews in a 'Global Conversation' interview. Procaccini criticised many of the initiatives taken in the last five years by the European Commission supported by popular, socialist and liberal parties, which he considers too 'left-wing'. He agreed 'very little' with the actions of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and also criticised the decisions made by Frans Timmermans, the vice-president respon...

Coalition between her centre-right European People's Party (EPP) and Giorgia Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia is a definite option, European Commission incumbent president Ursula von der Leyen told the Eurovision five-way party leader debate today (23 May), clarifying that the Italian prime minister fulfils three criteria for future partners: she is pro-EU, against Russia's Vladimir Putin and for the rule of law. The EPP is the only mainstream party that has not signed a declaration pledging not to cooperate with far-right forces such as the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) and the Identi...

In the 2019 European elections, Portugal recorded its highest abstention rate of 68.6 percent since joining the European Union, contrasting sharply with the approximately 50 percent turnout across Europe. Political dissatisfaction, as revealed in a survey released by the European Parliament at the time, was the main reason given for Portugal's record abstention rate of 68.6 percent in the European elections in May 2019. However, there is optimism for a potential decrease in abstention during the 9 June elections, mirroring the trend seen in the recent legislative elections on 10 March, which b...

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen currently finds herself in a state of anxiety, and it's easy to see why. From the controversial appointment of her ally Markus Pieper to a €17k per month job, to her diminishing influence within both the EU and her party, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), her campaign is not going as planned. Additionally, her recent discord with Manfred Weber, the European People’s Party (EPP) leader, further complicates matters. At first glance, her prospects of clinching another win in the forthcoming MEP vote as the EPP's frontrunner may sti...

Hundreds of protesters were gathering in Madrid on Sunday to protest against the Argentinian president Javier Milei on the second day of his three day visit to Spain. Typically, a visiting head of state might try to mend fences through diplomacy. Not Milei. The outspoken economist has no plans to meet Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez during his stay in the Spanish capital, nor the Spanish king, nor any other government official. Instead, he will attend a far-right summit on Sunday hosted by Sánchez's fiercest political opponent, the Vox party. Argentina's Milei faces nationwide strike agai...
