Belgian PM in tears after EU election drubbing
Politicians across the European Union were stunned on Sunday after voters decided that the people weren’t particularly happy with any of them. This was the case in Belgium, where Prime Minister Alexander De Croo was forced to resign after his Flemish Liberals and Democrats party registered just 7% of the vote. De Croo broke down in tears at the count as he announced his resignation, although he is expected to remain in power for at least several years as that’s normally just how long the bureaucracy takes in Belgium.
Elsewhere in Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron was forced to call an election out of shame after a similarly dismal night at the polls. Not for president, though, for prime minister, with Macron increasingly unable to govern with the current parliamentary composition, and National Rally looking capable of providing a clear majority, albeit one diametrically opposed to him. German Chancellor Scholz too suffered an horrendous night, with his SPD finishing third for the first time in history.
The nationalists, conservatives, reformists and other so-called ‘far right’ parties had a spectacularly good night, however, and are set to become the second largest bloc in the European parliament, and a correspondingly increased force in their domestic political arenas. The EPP technically ‘won’ the night, remaining the largest bloc, but with their majority down to a knife edge it remains to be seen whether they can hold off the wave of populism rising up against the status quo.
