Across the bloc, hard-right parties are roping in voters with promises to slash migration figures, slam the brakes on climate action and strip back EU powers - all in defence of so-called “national sovereignty.” The right-wing surge predicted by the polls has raised concern that a bolstered Eurosceptic camp could strain the coalition of progressive, pro-European parties that has reigned over Brussels for decades. But these right-wing parties remain deeply disunited on a raft of critical issues - in particular foreign policy, the EU’s support for Ukraine and the rule of law. These divisions mea...

The EU elections, due to be held between 6 June and 9 June this year, have already drawn a significant amount of attention, with several parties promising different regulations and facilities, especially for businesses. According to the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), this year's elections could potentially swing to the right in several countries, because of an increase in the appeal of populist radical right parties. On the other side, green parties, and centre-left parties' sway could quickly decrease. The outcome of the EU elections could have a significant impact on trade pol...

The declaration, titled "In Defence of Democracy," was released on Wednesday with the signatures of the Socialists & Democrats (S&D), Renew Europe, the Greens/EFA and The Left but, remarkably, without the stamp of the centre-right formation. The two-page statement is a reaction to the attack against Matthias Ecke, a socialist MEP who was beaten up over the weekend while he was putting up campaign posters in Dresden, Germany. Four suspects, aged between 17 and 18, have been identified in connection to the incident, which sent shockwaves through Brussels. Ursula von der Leyen, the EPP's lead can...

The European Parliament must publish details of the expense claims made by jailed Golden Dawn MEP Ioannis Lagos, judges said today (8 May). Lagos was sentenced by a Greek court to over 13 years in jail when his far-right party was deemed a criminal organisation in 2020, but continued to claim a salary and expenses from the European Parliament for months after. The request for information is legitimate as it’s "intended to facilitate enhanced public scrutiny and accountability with regard to Mr Lagos’ access to public funds” in the exceptional circumstances of the case, the EU’s General Court s...

The breach, dating back to early 2024, was uncovered two weeks ago as the European Parliament intensified efforts to reinforce its cybersecurity in preparation for the upcoming European elections in June, a press officer from the European Parliament told Euronews. The compromised application which has now been taken offline is called 'PEOPLE', and collated sensitive information related to around 8,000 candidates for temporary positions (including parliamentary assistants and contractual agents) and provided them with details about the recruitment process. "All active or past users potentially ...

With about a month to go until the European Parliament election in June, some of the most productive, outspoken or visible tech lawmakers are hoping to be re-elected for another five-year mandate. We’ve been looking at which key decision-makers on files such as the AI Act, cybersecurity and platform regulation are on the list, as well as those bidding farewell to Brussels. Up for re-election: Brando Benifei (Italy/S&D) Brando Benifei is Italy’s half of the AI Act duo, together with Romania's Dragos Tudorache.

MEPs collectively earn more than €8.6 million a year from outside jobs – including from private companies that also actively lobby on EU policy, according to a report published by Transparency International EU today (6 May). The group has called for EU lawmakers to be banned from moonlighting, as figures show over two thirds of the 705 deputies disclose activities in addition to their core role. In some cases, they earn more from outside activities than they do from their MEP salary of €10,000 a month, and sit on boards of corporations intimately connected with their day jobs, the study found....

In an interview with Euronews on Thursday, the 36-year-old German - one of two lead candidates fielded by the European Greens for June's ballot - outlined her vision for upholding the embattled European Green Deal, the EU’s plan to become the first climate-neutral continent. In recent months, Reintke's Greens party has led criticism of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) - set to top the poll in June and remain the parliament’s biggest faction - for what they describe as attempts to water down the Green Deal in response to a wave of demonstrations among farmers. Farmers' protests le...

Political attention ahead of the EU elections has focused on the big political parties – especially with the prospect of right-wing groupings on the rise. But there’s one caucus that’s been growing in recent years, as part of a trend that’s likely to continue – the dozens of homeless MEPs who don’t belong to any political grouping at all. In February 2020, just after UK MEPs left due to Brexit, there were only 28 EU lawmakers sitting as independents, unaffiliated with any of the parliament’s seven organised political parties. Now there are 50 and, according to an Ipsos poll for Euronews, they ...
