During the EU summit in Brussels, French President Macron's decision to dissolve the National Assembly was considered unexpected, as it came amidst the ongoing European Parliament elections. The rise of far-right and nationalist parties across the EU, fueled by concerns over immigration, inflation, and environmental reforms, has led to questions about their future influence on EU policies. However, the moderate-centrist parties still dominate a majority of the seats in the European Parliament, despite the attention on the far-right gains. The environmental impact of the elections also saw a decline in Green Party seats, reflecting a shifting focus on economic costs over environmental reforms. Overall, the elections highlighted a victory for moderate-right parties, although this may not be as prominently featured in media coverage compared to the discussion of far-right movements.
