In the European Parliament elections in June, centrist, liberal, and socialist parties secured a majority of seats, favoring the re-election of Ursula von der Leyen as President of the European Commission. However, the rise of far-right forces could benefit China and Russia in gaining leverage in Europe, potentially influencing future decisions. The increase in far-right and populist movements raises concerns about the EU's stance towards China and Russia. Parties with the most criticism towards authoritarian regimes were Renew Europe, followed by the EPP, Greens, and S&D. The election results also suggest potential shifts in EU policies, including the imposition of temporary tariffs on Chinese electric cars and the impact of right-wing populist parties on European climate goals and economic decisions.
