European Parliament Elections 2022
Far-right parties made gains in the European Parliament elections, prompting French President Macron to call for a shock election. The centre, liberal, and green parties are set to retain power, despite domestic blows to leaders in France and Germany. The shift to the right may impact policy-making on security, climate change, and industrial competition. The European People's Party and the Socialists and Democrats are expected to be the largest political families in the new legislature.
