Lasker ’s Post

At Lasker we have done a report summarizing the main highlights of the EU elections and analysing the main outcomes of the 5 largest Member States. In these elections there has been a relevant shift towards right-wing formations. EPP, ECR and ID increases seats while Socialists, Liberals, Greens and the Left reduce their number of MEPs. Will the EPP, Socialists and Liberals lead a coalition to face the increase of euroscepticism in this new legislative term to come? How important will the green policies be in Europe’s agenda given the Greens defeat? Don’t miss our report. 

Interesting read on the roles of EU institutions. It's important to know how our elected representatives work for us!
