Major Poll Results: EPP Leads, S&D Sees Small Increase, Far Right Gains Momentum, Renew Faces Seat Losses

The European Parliament is set to shift to the right, according to polls conducted in eight representative EU countries. The moderate forces, however, are expected to play a crucial role in crafting coalitions and alliances to ensure the functionality of the parliament.

In countries like Germany, the EPP is projected to win a clear majority of votes, with the far-right facing challenges due to scandals and controversies. The socialists and liberals are also expected to have a significant presence in the new parliament.

In France, the National Rally led by Marine Le Pen is expected to make significant gains, capitalizing on social discontent. President Emmanuel Macron’s group is predicted to face electoral defeat, with the socialists slowly recovering.

Italy’s far-right party led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is expected to win big, potentially forming alliances with moderate forces to create a functional majority. The fracture between different right-wing groups could impact the dynamics of the European Parliament.

In Spain, the EPP is expected to win the elections, with the socialists closely behind. The far-right Vox party is also projected to perform well, but not as strongly as anticipated.

Overall, the shift to the right in the European Parliament is expected to have significant implications for the EU institutions and national politics across the bloc. The role of moderate forces in forming alliances and coalitions will be crucial in shaping the future direction of the parliament.
