Although MEPs are discussing how to restructure the internal configuration of the European Parliament - and whether to create new committees for the new five-year mandate - in the end it seems that nothing will really change. Apart from the possible upgrading of SEDE, there have been proposals from various political groups to create a specific committee on health, separate from the existing environment configuration, and to turn the subcommittee on human rights (DROI) into a full committee, to name but a few. All in vain, as the three subcommittees are likely to remain as they are, several sou...

MEPs are gathering in Strasbourg for their first formal sitting since EU elections held in June. From salaries to allowances to golden parachutes, MEPs can expect considerable benefits while they serve as EU lawmakers – and even after they leave.

The European elections in June swept many of us in civil society through a whirlwind, cementing the continuous progression of the far-right within our democratic institutions. With over twenty years of experience advocating for a free, fair, and open digital environment in Europe, one thing is clear to us — a shift to the right poses a grave threat to our fundamental rights. Looking ahead to the next mandate of EU institutions, we anticipate a rise in the market dominance of large tech corporations and the implementation of draconian state surveillance practices. Much discussion surrounding th...

A new far-right group has been formed in the European Parliament under the name "Europe of Sovereign Nations" (ESN), gathering controversial parties that until today lacked political affiliation due to the radical character of their ideas. The formation encompasses 25 MEPs from eight member states, enough to establish a formal group in the hemicycle and avoid the category of non-attached, which greatly reduces the relevance and speaking time of lawmakers. Its composition and name were announced on Wednesday afternoon after a constitutive meeting in Brussels, ending days of mounting speculation...

Jean-Luc Mélenchon has sought to quell fears that a prospective left-wing government in France would disrupt the European Union's spending norms. In a visit to Brussels days after his left-wing alliance, the New Popular Front (NPF), swept to a surprise victory in the second round of the French legislative elections, Mélenchon claimed that his alliance's radical spending plans were watertight. "I don't know how our programme is contradictory to (...) European budgetary rules," he said, adding that he was not aware of any spending rules in the bloc other than the need to maintain a "certain leve...

"We made very clear that we don’t accept any flirt with the far right. She gave us commitments. We will look at this very closely,...

The European Parliament might soon have another far-right group vehemently opposed to the Green Deal, migration and European integration, just days after the emergence of Viktor Orbán's Patriots for Europe. The formation could host the likes of Germany's Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), Poland's Konfederacja, and Spain's Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF), together with some individual lawmakers from Greece and Bulgaria, according to a parliamentary source who spoke to Euronews on condition of anonymity. Neither of these far-right forces currently belong to one of the European Parliament's seven esta...

Attempts by Hungarian premier Viktor Orbán to address MEPs at the inaugural plenary sitting of the newly elected assembly in Strasbourg have been rebuffed by parliamentary chiefs unable to find room to accommodate him in the agenda, two sources familiar with the issue have told Euronews. By long-standing convention, heads of government are given the opportunity to address the Parliament when they take over the rotating presidency of the EU Council, presenting the agenda for their six-month turn at the helm of inter-governmental policy negotiations and answering questions from MEPs. The sources...
