As the European election campaign in France enters its final stretch, the candidates are intensifying their efforts, aimed at undecided and younger voters. Jordan Bardella, the candidate for the far-right National Rally party, held his last public meeting in Paris on Sunday. Leading the polls with 32 per cent of voting intentions, he called on electors to vote against French president Emmanuel Macron’s party Renaissance. "Next Sunday, to abstain is to vote for Macron. Next Sunday, splitting up on other lists will strengthen Macron. Next Sunday, voting for other [smaller] parties will only stre...

Between 6 and 9 June, some 350 million people across 27 European Union member states will come together to elect 720 members of the European Parliament. While the parliament to be elected will represent everybody in the bloc, each country votes slightly differently - and that’s particularly apparent this year. While each nation uses the system of proportional representation - which means that a party's share of the vote is reflected in its seat tally - each individual country uses its own variant. Nineteen countries use the preferential voting system, where voters are able to express their pre...

Anna Pagani is no stranger to long journeys. She has spent thousands of euros and countless hours criss-crossing Europe’s train tracks since pledging not to take flights a couple of years ago. A decision that has been “harder than it should be”. “Planning train rides takes time, patience, and money,” she tells Euronews Travel. She lives in London but frequently travels back to her native Italy and to Austria to see her partner’s family. On top of that her job as a researcher requires her to go to conferences scattered across the continent. “Overall, it’s a lot of learning by doing,” she confid...

Tens of thousands took part in a so called 'Peace March' in Budapest on Saturday to show their support for Viktor Orbán and the Hungarian government. Many of the marchers felt that the stakes in next week's European Parliament elections (and local elections in Hungary) will be higher than ever. "The whole world is dancing on a razor's edge, war could break out at any moment. Everyone must speak up and stand for peace," said one demonstrator. Orbán's supporters marched along the Danube River in Budapest from the city's iconic Chain Bridge onto Margaret Island, waving flags and signs reading "No...

The upcoming European elections could tip the balance between Giorgia Meloni’s mainstream foreign policy and domestic far-right agenda. In less than two years leading the EU’s third-largest economy, the Italian Premier has emerged as the most powerful far-right-wing leader in Europe. However, her pro-Ukraine and Israel policies have proven reassuring to centrist allies in America and the rest of Europe – with Italy preparing to host G7 leaders in June. The European elections between June 6-9 could tip this balancing act. “I think there are two Melonis, and the Meloni that is getting more atten...

According to the Euronews Super Polls, one thing looks certain: after the 6-9 June elections, the European Parliament will have a clear right-wing majority. Furthermore, the forces of the conservative camp — from the centre-right to the far-right — will have to overcome deep rifts and contradictions among each other to craft a functional alliance. Meanwhile, the conservative groups will hardly be able to join their forces in one strong coalition. Socialist parties have been slightly and steadily growing for three months, while the liberal-democrats of Renew are on a fast-declining path. Finall...

Germany has witnessed a surge in right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence, reaching unprecedented levels, since 2013. Victim support group Ezra says there is a direct link between the increase in right-wing violence and support for the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), currently polling second nationwide and expected to make sweeping gains in the upcoming elections in three eastern states. Mayar, a 20-year-old nurse who fled Syria during the war and has lived in Germany for nearly nine years, feels a strong sense of German identity, having grown up there. He recounts the mome...
