In the European Parliament’s 720 seats, the moderates, liberals and socialists were supposed to be leading in the majority of seats, but in reality they did not, which gave a big shock to the internal politics of France. Same situation in Germany. In this situation, the question arises, how the main European countries will implement their national policies in the alliance.
Basically, the French parliament has played a gamble to keep the national parliament free from the clutches of the extreme right. According to his announcement, the French parliamentary elections will be held on June 30. According to Makhon, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz suffered a major shock. Germany’s ruling Social Democratic Party suffered its worst-ever result in European Parliament elections. In contrast, the country’s conservative and hard-right political party Alternative for Germany fared well.
