The structure of the new European Parliament still isn’t finalised – but already it’s becoming clear which delegations will dominate the major political blocs. Euronews analysis shows the German delegation as the most significant player in the bloc’s biggest grouping, Ursula von der Leyen's European People’s Party (EPP), and it also dominates the much smaller Green party. Italy will hold significant sway over the centre-left socialists and right-wing Conservatives and Reformists movement (ECR), after a strong poll performance by the Democratic Party and Giorgia Meloni’s ruling Brothers of Ital...

After a tumultuous last day of voting and a long night of vote counting and spin, we can now glimpse the new EU political landscape. As predicted by pollsters, populist right-wing parties have seen their share of seats in Brussels surge in several countries. Italian premier Giorgia Meloni’s role as a future power broker in the appointment of the next head of the European Commission, while the victory of Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally in France has forced president Macron to call a snap election. It is not only a story of an ascendant hard-right, though, as the nationalist ID group’s ...
