ČT24 | Political shift after the European Parliament elections and its impact on the future of the EU

After the European Parliament elections, the strongest faction remains the European People's Party, a grouping that includes TOP09, KDU-ČSL and the Mayors and Independents. The Socialists and Democrats are second and Renew Europe, which includes the winning ANO party, is third. How significantly did the elections affect the European Parliament? Viktor Daněk, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for ČT24.
10. June 2024

The parliament did indeed shift towards the right, but not as much as was expected. Extreme right-wing parties have significantly strengthened in some countries, such as France, Germany, and Austria; however, overall, this strengthening is not as substantial as anticipated. Therefore, I believe that there won't be too many changes in the current direction of European integration.
