European election

The European economy is at a turning point following the European elections. The Green Deal is likely to be adjusted – and uncertainty is expected to increase for the business sector.

Even though the far-right parties will continue to have significantly fewer seats in the European Parliament than the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, the gains in votes to the right of centre indicate that distrust in the EU's ability to solve problems runs deep.

The spreading of misinformation to influence the outcome of the European elections has been widespread. More voters getting their information from social media, and the rise of AI, has made the challenge more complex.

For the vast majority of citizens, Europe is the guarantor of peace and democracy. However, when it comes to specific issues such as migration, mistrust and alienation are on the rise.

The Federal Electoral Commissioner is watching out for hacking and disinformation ahead of the European Parliament elections.

The European Parliament has not only emancipated itself from the European Commission in recent years, but also from the European Council.

Christian and Social Democrats are facing slight losses in the European elections, while Greens and Liberals might experience significant setbacks. On the other hand, the right-wing bloc could see gains. These developments collectively contribute to the increased complexity of legislation in Europe.
