The European elections have marked a significant shift in the political landscape, with a notable rise in euro-sceptic nationalist parties. This development poses a challenge for Ursula von der Leyen's ambition for a second term as European Commission president. Despite the gains by euro-sceptic parties, von der Leyen's centre-right European People's Party (EPP) has emerged strong, potentially securing her position. However, the fragmentation of the vote and the loss of seats by liberals and greens could complicate the formation of a stable coalition in the European Parliament. The results from 21 EU countries highlight the changing political sentiments across Europe, with implications for the future direction of the EU.
