How will the European parliamentary elections change the EU?
Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
The European elections on June 6-9 delivered a more rightwing and fragmented European parliament and the calling of a high-stakes national poll in France.
To dissect what this outcome means for Europe and the world, Ben Hall, Europe editor, was joined by Paris bureau chief Leila Abboud, Rome correspondent Amy Kazmin, FT contributor Constanze Stelzenmüller, and Henry Foy, Brussels bureau chief and lead writer of the Europe Express newsletter.
Our panel, which gathered online on June 12, took subscribers’ questions on the following topics and more:
How will the poor performance of ruling parties in the bloc’s leading powers France and Germany affect their standing at home and abroad?
How will the new parliament affect EU policy on migration, the environment, and the war in Ukraine?
Will a resurgent far right be able to work together to form a powerful bloc within the EU?
Will an EU capital markets union ever see the light of day?
