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...

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...

Between 3,000 and 4,000 people gathered on Thursday evening to see the European elections candidate representing the French Socialist Party (PS-PP), 44-year-old essayist Raphaël Glucksmann. The young and old intermingled, waving European flags against the vivid backdrop of the French Socialist Party's pink and yellow colours. The slogans “Tax the Rich” and "Waking up Europe" appeared almost everywhere. At the foot of the stage, a star-stu...

In the landscape of EU-China relations, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's doctrine of "de-risking, not decoupling" has become a central tenet. This approach underscores the European Union's lack of coherent strategy towards China — attempts to balance between engagement and safeguarding its interests while failing to address more comprehensively the scale of threats and challenges posed by the totalitarian regime. Furthermore, while de-risking itself seeks to foster a pragmatic stance on economic and diplomatic fronts, it's imperative to recognise certain sectors necessitate...

They began by protesting alongside Greta Thunberg at Fridays for Future demonstrations; now they are candidates for the imminent European Parliament elections. A generation of young Europeans that became activists while still at school is now of age to take up positions in political office. They have launched campaigns across Europe in order to protect and further climate protection policies amid backlash from right-leaning parties. If successful, they will become some of the 720 European lawmakers who, alongside EU governments, pass new laws. The elections from 6-9 June come at a key moment a...

The European Parliament is the most equal parliament in the bloc, with around 40% women MEPs in 2024, compared to almost 16% in 1979. Still, EU lawmakers can't claim parental leave, can't vote remotely, and can't appoint a temporary replacement. “If we want a gender-balanced system where fathers, not just mothers, can combine childcare and political activity, we need to recognise the right to a family life,” Raquel García Hermida-van der Walle, candidate for the EU elections in The Netherlands for D66 (Renew Europe), told Euronews. Current electoral laws and the European Parliament’s internal ...
