Download European elections 2024. A turning point for EU integration?

 

The politicisation of European affairs, and the steady rise of clashing views on them, is a growing and irrepressible phenomenon. In this context, the outcome of the elections to the European Parliament will determine the future of the legislative process on many issues: the green agenda, European Union’s future enlargement, the defence policy, the debate over the EU’s own resources. Legislative progress will depend on the majorities that form in the new parliament, and on the nature and composition of the new European Commission. The first step in defining the new majorities in the EU will be decided at the polls from June 6 to 9, 2024.
