ČRo Plus | Election Special - EUROPEAN ELECTIONS 2024

EU citizens elect a new European Parliament. How did the election results turn out in the Czech Republic and other European countries? And do the election results reflect the MEPs work in the last term? Žiga Faktor, deputy director and head of EUROPEUM's Brussels office, commented for Czech Radio's special election coverage.

From the perspective of Brussels, they are very unrewarding because they always translate into national debate and national politics. Thus, the five-year work of any MEP is not well monitored, seen or evaluated, so to speak. In several cases, we have seen that this has worked to the detriment of these former MEPs.
