The next European Parliament will be led by familiar faces. Following their constitutive meetings on Wednesday afternoon, the Socialists & Democrats (S&D) and the liberals of Renew Europe re-elected their sitting leaders, betting on the status quo to weather what is expected to be a rowdy hemicycle where ambitious legislation will be subject to bitter, protracted fights. Spain's Iratxe García Pérez, a close ally to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, was endorsed by her fellow socialists for a new term. With 136 seats, the S&D remains the second-largest force in the Parliament and the leading voice ...

Every MEP counts at a time when Renew Europe is battling with the far-right ECR group to become the third force in the European Parliament for the next five-year mandate. The EU liberals in the European Parliament were due to vote on whether to expel the Dutch VVD party immediately after the elections, on 10 June, but following Renew Europe's the heavy loss of 21 seats last week, it postponed the decision without setting a date. Instead, the group is likely to send an observer mission to the Netherlands to check whether the party is crossing any red lines in terms of values and liberal princip...
