The results of the European Parliament elections consisting of 27 member countries showed the Christian Democrats gaining 13 seats to 189, followed by the Social Democrats with 135 seats, while the business-friendly Renew Europe lost 22 seats to 80, and the Greens/European Free Alliance only received 53 seats. Although far-right parties in France, Germany, and Austria saw victories, the overall Parliament remains mostly occupied by center parties. The leader of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is considered likely to secure re-election. Populist movements have gained power in several EU countries, impacting politics and potentially influencing policies like migration and climate change.
