Which party won in each country in the European Union parliamentary elections

From Thursday the 6th to this Sunday the 9th, elections to the Parliament of the European Union were held, involving 27 countries and 343 million people.

The elections elected a total of 720 MEPs until 2029 within the framework of the largest transnational companies in history.

With a small shift to the right in the countries with the largest number of seats, the main impact was the early call for elections in France by its president Emmanuel Macron. A similar situation is happening in Belgium, where Prime Minister Alexander De Croo presented his resignation pending approval from King Philip.

In this northwestern country, the situation becomes more complex as it is a context of deep cultural division, a simultaneous local loss and the precedent of the 541 days of delay in forming a government from 2021.

One of the points of relevance for the Argentine agenda was the defeat of the PSOE in Spain, where it came second with 20 seats compared to the 22 obtained by the Popular Party. Pedro Sánchez’s new drama was generally celebrated by Javier Milei.

Each country has small modifications in electoral regulations. In some, parties belonging to certain groups at the European level may have obtained the majority of votes, but in the total seat count, another European party achieved a greater number.

Protocolally, the heads of state and presidents must meet to propose the presidents of the Commission and Parliament, who then have to be approved by the MEPs. At the end of June, approximately between the 27th and 28th, authorities would be known.

The negotiations of the current president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, seeking the renewal of her position, are already becoming the key to the structure of the Union. She tries to approach the socialists and the liberals simultaneously.

The centrist ideology continues to be the predominant one in Parliament and in the European idiosyncrasy. However, the agenda is put in check by the growth of problems such as immigration.

At a certain point, the right and extreme right have in their hands the possibility of reaching some agreements that will allow them to establish themselves clearly within Parliament and at the internal level of nations. Divided positions on support for Ukraine and the priority of settling domestic political issues are the main obstacles.

Regarding the specific work of Parliament, there would be no possibility of a deep position on the right. What conclusions can be drawn from is the turn of the population’s compass towards a certain range of the series of proposals. In seven countries, a coalition that prioritizes the “center” or the “left” won.

What is established with a resounding triumph is Euroscepticism, a current that reduced its intensity in spaces such as Identity and Democracy, but is positioned collectively under the need for greater powers for each of the States.
