European elections results: all eyes are on France and Germany

By Maria Demertzis

Last week’s European election results were a mixed bag. The European People’s Party and the Social Democrats, traditionally the biggest parties in Europe, held on to their respective first and second positions in the European Parliament. Meanwhile, Renew Europe (the party of liberals) and the Greens both saw substantive losses.

The extreme right group, Identity and Democracy, won 9 seats in comparison to the 2019 European elections, but this is very far from a game changer.
