The European elections were marked by the advance of the far right
The first projections of the European elections released this Sunday (9) point to the victory of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP), with the conquest of 181 seats in the European Parliament.
According to exit polls, far-right groups must guarantee more space in parliament, but without overturning the current majority.
As a result, the EPP remains the main European political force, followed by the centre-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D), who reached 135 seats.
Also according to the projection, the liberals of Renew Europe are in third place, with 82 elected, while the Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, led by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, should win 71 seats in the European Parliament. .
The far-right Identity and Democracy (ID), of which French Marine Le Pen’s party is part, has 62 deputies, the Free Green Alliance, 53, and the United Left, 34.
The European Assembly’s first estimate also confirms 51 unregistered deputies and another 51 newly elected members not linked to any political group of the outgoing parliament, for a total of 102 seats.
According to European Parliament spokesperson Jaume Duch, voter turnout in the European elections was 51%, compared to 50.7% in 2019. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola hoped that “many people will take advantage of this responsibility and opportunity “. .
