The recent European Parliament elections, held across the European Union from June 6 to June 9, 2024, have revealed a significant shift towards conservative and nationalist movements.
These elections saw millions of Europeans voting to elect their Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). The results have been particularly noteworthy in several key countries:
In France, the National Rally emerged victorious, securing more than 32% of the vote. This was the highest score for any party in four decades, reflecting widespread discontent with the current government’s policies.
In Italy, Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party made significant gains, capturing the public’s support with a platform emphasizing national identity and economic reform. They increased their seats from 10 to 27 (2024 European election results) (EU Reporter).
