First European Parliament projections suggest that mainstream parties have lost ground in the EU elections as far-right and populist parties are set to pick up seats
First projections of seats division in new Parliament are displayed on a screen at the Plenary Hall during the election night for European elections at the European Parliament, in Brussels, Belgium, May 26, 2019.
The balloting, which began on Thursday, pitted supporters of closer unity against those who consider the EU a meddlesome and bureaucratic presence and want to return power to national governments and sharply restrict immigration. In the first major exit poll, in Germany, the EU's biggest country, governing parties were predicted to lose ground while the Greens were set for big gains. The far right was also expected to pick up slightly more support.
In France, Le Pen's National Rally party said the expected result was a "clear punishment" for Macron and the EU itself.Hungary's increasingly authoritarian prime minister Viktor Orban, a possible ally of Salvini, said he hopes the election will bring a shift toward political parties that want to stop migration.
Europe has been roiled in the past few years by immigration from the Mideast and Africa and deadly attacks by Islamic extremists. It has also seen rising tensions over economic inequality and growing hostility toward the political establishment — sentiments not unlike those that got Donald Trump elected in the U.S.
