Local residents fills their ballots at a polling station during the second round of voting in presidential elections in Vilnius, Lithuania, Sunday, May 26, 2019. Voters are going to the polls to elect a president to succeed Dalia Grybauskaite, who has completed her maximum two terms in office.
“I don’t want to see a right-populist Europe wants to destroy the idea of togetherness,” said Manfred Weber, the lead candidate of the Christian Democrat center-right EPP group, currently the biggest in the legislature. The migration issue “will reorganize the political spectrum in the European Union,” said Orban, who recently met with Salvini but has not yet committed to joining the Italian’s group.
Projections released by the European Parliament last month show the EPP bloc losing 37 of its 217 seats and the S&D group dropping from 186 seats to 149. On the far right flank, the Europe of Nations and Freedom group is predicted to increase its bloc from 37 to 62 seats., argue that issues like climate change and reining in immigration are simply too big for any one country to tackle alone.
Austria is one of the countries where the vote also has importance to national politics, serving as a first test of support ahead of a national election in September following the collapse of Kurz’s governing coalition a week ago.
