The backlash against leftist policies in Europe continues as the right and the center-right make significant gains at the expense of the far-left in the latest EU Parliament election The biggest successes were in France, Germany, and Belgium. In France, Macron’s party lost so badly he immediately dissolved the parliament and called for flash elections.
In Germany, the Greens have faded to near irrelevancy, while the right’s AfD party surpassed Germany’s ruling party in votes, undermining PM Scholz’ legitimacy as the leader of the country. Belgium’s PM, Alexander De Croo, resigned after his party was crushed in the election. The Austrian Freedom Party garnered the most votes in the election with 25.7 percent of the votes going to them.

The results may also help alleviate the suffering of European farmers and ordinary citizens who are being crushed by ludicrous Green New Deal-esque policies. The Greens were reportedly crushed across most of Europe, including in Germany where they have been aggressive in pushing ridiculous policies hobbling farming and food production.
In Germany, Greens are imploding. They are projected to be the biggest losers from last time out, losing 8.6% of their vote in the Euro election. It is a big blow because they put major effort & money into EU elections. Their voters are the most pro-EU party in Germany (91%) pic.twitter.com/2xxdrxcQVy

… In France, the National Rally party of Marine Le Pen dominated the polls to such an extent that Macron immediately dissolved the national parliament and called for new elections, a massive political risk since his party could suffer more losses, hobbling the rest of his presidential term that ends in 2027.
. . . . In Germany, the most populous nation in the 27-member bloc, projections indicated that the AfD overcame a string of scandals involving its top candidate to rise to 16.5%, up from 11% in 2019. In comparison, the combined result for the three parties in the German governing coalition barely topped 30%.
Scholz suffered such an ignominious fate that his long-established Social Democratic party fell behind the extreme-right Alternative for Germany, which surged into second place. “After all the prophecies of doom, after the barrage of the last few weeks, we are the second strongest force,” a jubilant AfD leader Alice Weidel said.
… Overall across the EU, two mainstream and pro-European groups, the Christian Democrats and the Socialists, remained the dominant forces. The gains of the far right came at the expense of the Greens, who were expected to lose about 20 seats and fall back to sixth position in the legislature. Macron’s pro-business Renew group also lost big.
. . . . Germany, traditionally a stronghold for environmentalists, exemplified the humbling of the Greens, who were predicted to fall from 20% to 12%. With further losses expected in France and elsewhere, the defeat of the Greens could well have an impact on the EU’s overall climate change policies, still the most progressive across the globe.
The Austrian “far-right” Freedom Party came out on top in the EU elections, winning 25.7% of the votes and beating their rivals. The “moderates” and the Greens lost. They hope to maintain their momentum in the upcoming general elections.

Exit polls from EU elections suggest, as predicted, a huge swing to the far right. Less noticed (but still connected) is the implosion of Greens. French Greens saw their worst performance in 30 yrs. In 2019 German Greens were 2nd place. In 2024 the hard-right AfD is 2nd. . . . The French Greens (Europe-écologie-Les Verts) even faced outright extinction. France has a 5% cut-off to enter the chamber. They very nearly had no seats at all. And the Greens spend A LOT on the European elections. It’s where they win their most votes.
. . . . Belgium’s prime minister has resigned. Belgium held national election concurrent with the European Parliament election, and the ruling coalition got smashed to bits, too.
Alexander De Croo, who is vocally anti-Israel, RESIGNED after his party received just 5.8% of the votes.

Peter Sweden’s the Freedom Corner provides a breakdown of other European countries and their results:
Netherlands:
Another big winner was the party of right-wing Geert Wilders in the Netherlands that supports the farmers. They saw a massive gain in exit polls, gaining many seats to become the second largest party.
Austria:
In Austria, the right-wing FPÖ party is projected to double their number of seats to become the largest party.
Spain:
Also in Spain the right-wing Vox party is making gains, becoming the third largest party with around 10% of the votes.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Far-right parties rattled the traditional powers in the European Union and made major gains in parliamentary elections Sunday, dealing an especially humiliating defeat to French President Emmanuel Macron.
On a night where the 27-member bloc palpably shifted to the right, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni more than doubled her seats in the EU parliament. And even if the Alternative for Germany extreme right party was hounded by scandal involving candidates, it still rallied enough seats to sweep past the slumping Social Democrats of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Sensing a threat from the far right, the Christian Democrats of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had already shifted further to the right on migration and climate ahead of the elections — and were rewarded by remaining by far the biggest group in the 720-seat European Parliament and de-facto brokers of the ever expanding powers of the legislature.
Undoubtedly however, the star on a stunning electoral night was the National Rally party of Marine Le Pen, dominated the French polls to such an extent that Macron immediately dissolved the national parliament and called for new elections. It was a massive political risk since his party could suffer more losses, hobbling the rest of his presidential term that ends in 2027.

Although he will oversee a caretaker government until a new coalition is created, he will nevertheless hand in his resignation to Belgium’s King Philippe on Monday at the royal palace in Brussels.
The results in both France and Belgium indicate a growing political move in Europe toward the right as economic issues, unfettered immigration, and other concerns are turning off voters:
