Summary: The EP elections in June 2024 were expected to mark significant gains for right-wing populists and far-right parties. The impact was unlikely to be immediately evident, as centrist parties were set to maintain a majority of seats. Instead, their influence was likely to make itself felt over time, as mainstream political forces felt under pressure to tilt right on issues such as climate policy. More consequentially, the EP election results were also expected to influence national politics, potentially giving more momentum to right-wing forces in upcoming elections and leading to changes in the balance of power within the European Council. |
