Democracy at its loveliest: 11 parties have run in #EuropeanElections in #Denmark, and all but one have won at least one seat! 😅
And I love the way DR presented their projection. After a countdown to 11pm reveal, they actually didn't reveal all the results immediately. It took a while for this woman to start giving percentages & seats party by party, with each party representatives shown live waiting for their result 😅
The big news tonight may be the political drama in #France, but it's important to note that according to exit polls, what happened in France has not happened at pan-European level
Looks like together with #EuropeanElections, #Romania held local #elections too. Lots of local reporting on Radio Romania Actualitati on #mediumwave, and also occasional infobar on Digi 24.
French President Emmanuel #Macron’s call for new legislative #elections after announcing the breakup of the French #Parliament caught members of the National Rally unsuspected, FRANCE 24’s Claire Paccalin said, reporting from party headquarters.
#Macron dissolves the #French parliament and calls for early legislative elections. First round will be held on June 30, second round July 6. The results of the #EuropeanElections have prompted the move, with the far right RN clinching 31,5% of the vote. #MarineLePen says the #RN is "ready to wield power if the French show their trust in the party".
Massive bet from Macron, who risks becoming a lame duck president, with the prospect of a first far right government since WWII.
Civic Coalition won their 1st #elections since 2014 (!) #EUElections, 38.2%, 21 seats out of 53
PiS - 33.9%, but just 2 seats less than KO
Confederation - sensationally won 3rd place, I think their best ever, 11.9%, 6 seats
Third Way - 8.2%, 4 seats - disappointment imho
The Left - 6.6%, 3 seats, also a bit low but that's typical of them
Non-Partisan 0.8%
PolExit (LOL) 0.3%
Others 0.1%

Far-right parties are surging in the European Parliament elections, a strong sign of voter dissatisfaction, early data shows. Voters were expected to deliver major gains to anti-immigrant, nationalist parties, challenging leaders in #Germany and #France.
My take on this trend is this: voters, dissatisfied with the status quo, see the far right as the most likely to dismantle the system that oppresses them (yes, I know they’re wrong about that). They also fear a wave of immigration will overwhelm their culture and job markets. The left needs to do a lot better job of educating, organizing and mobilizing to counter this trend. Much work remains to be done to convince voters that “the left” can be trusted to bring about the substantial societal and economic changes voters desire. #politics#EuropeanElections#EuropeanUnion
Ok, bit over an hour here in Germany until the polls are closing for the #EuropeanElections / #Europawahl2024. I am a bit nervous how this whole thing will turn out in the end. How about you?
370 Million people can vote in the #EuropeanElections. The #EuropeanUnion is the second largest #democracy in the world, after India. 80 years ago young men died in their thousands on the beaches of Normandy to defend that democracy against fascism. Don’t let their sacrifice go to waste: VOTE!
Inaczej to wygląda w przypadku kanałów informacyjnych, gdzie mamy ozdobniki nad belkami, po prawej stronie, niezależnie od logo. O ile są wyświetlane, bo np. TVN24 nie wyświetla ich non-stop 😉 #wybory#eurowybory#EUElections#EuropeanElections
I’m working as the polling station supervisor of my little town, #RivaLigure, #Italy. Alongside the #EuropeanParliament, we are also electing the new city council. There is a huge competition: only one civic list 🚀
Glad to have nice people as scrutineers, and my dad is the polling station president. I was expecting the worst, but actually it’s not bad at all—so far. Still ~26 hours to go! 🤯
Die jüngste Kandidatin in Europa fürs EU Parlament macht grad ein Ask Me Anything auf Reddit (und natürlich immer auch AbgoerdnetenWatch sowie hier auf Mastodon) schaut gerne vorbei! Auf r/gekte :trans_heart: :progresspride_i_flag:
