The European Union breathes more calmly

Although the polls predicted that the coalition of the centre could lose the majority, the coalition between Social Democrats, Social Liberalists and the people has finally remained in the European Parliament with an absolute majority.

This has involved participation, 51% voted, 8.5% more than five years ago, supported by the mobilisation against the extreme right and the coincidence between the various elections in some countries.

The wave of the greens has been smaller than expected, especially successful in Germany, where the greens will face the Social Democrats. Denmark, the United Kingdom and France have also had good results. The Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance will win about 20 Members, who will lose more or less the United Left, so the European Parliament will focus on the left.

On the right, however, there has been an increase in populism and euroscepticism, although not in the size announced by the surveys. In Italy, France and the United Kingdom the Eurosceptics have won the elections, but outside those countries, in western Europe they have not met expectations. In the Eastern conflict between conservative nationalists and liberalist Social Democrats, there have been no great surprises, the forces are balanced, except in Hungary, where the Orban party has achieved an absolute majority. In this way, it will become one of the most important centres of interest of the European Parliament to occupy the position of combatants and exiles of MEPs.
