The EU Community policy was harshly hit by the Eurosceptic earthquake to become more hostile with the re-nationalization of some of the approaches discussed so far by those that support a European perspective . A total of 15 anti-EU parties from 13 countries have managed to enter the Parliament , which occupy 100 seats according to the official count which has not yet been completed. Fifteen forces that have led to their election promises programs such as the destruction of the euro, the lifting of border controls , the end of free movement and their respective countries of the European Union.
The analyzes that follow these European elections agree to minimize the effect of these parties within the European Parliament, and who will occupy only 13.1% of the 751 seats. But recognize that it will have a great influence on EU policy through the pressure to make the governments for their respective countries.
The cases of UK and France are the most symbolic breakthrough by two strong Eurosceptic forces that have become the most voted option for voters . The UK Independence Party ( Ukip ) obtained 23 seats and can create around the figure of their leader, Nigel Farage, a parliamentary group (Europe for Freedom and Democracy , EFD ) with a greater presence than in the previous legislature .
This result leaves British Prime Minister David Cameron in a difficult situation. The message that voters sent through the polls is that the EU raises more problems than solutions , so the UK struggles to repatriate powers and subtract influence over other European alternatives . The UK has always being an awkward partner within the European Council , threatening to hold a referendum to decide whether to continue or not the club 28 and Cameron may be forced to further radicalize their struggle against the power of Brussels to ensure stability in domestic politics.
Increased anti-European vote
” The increase in anti-European vote is a clarion call for EU leaders : if not great reforms are started and powers returned , citizens may end up opting soon for an out of the European Union solution,” said Mats Persson, director Open Europe .
Something similar happens in France. His weakened president, François Hollande, has not only undermined seats to the European socialist family, but now with stiff opposition from the far-right Marine Le Pen, grown after the excellent results of these elections. His party, the National Front, has won the support of 25 % of voters ( 24 seats) and their approaches Europhobes condition with the way that France is negotiating with other countries in the European Council.
Along with Ukip and the National Front , the Danish People’s Party is the other group involved in the Eurosceptic movement and has proved the most voted in their country. This group will add four seats to the anti-European alliance that begins to take shape with the first talks between their leaders. In Hungary the radical Jobbik is the second option preferred by voters , with backing from 14 % to bring three other deputies. There are also four other countries where Euroscepticism has finished third : the Austrian Freedom Party ( 4 seats ), Dutch PVV of Geert Wilders (three seats) , true Finns ( two representatives ) and Golden Dawn Nazis in Greece , where they provide three other deputies.
In Italy , the surprise has been positive for the Europeans , as the ruling party of Matteo Renzi has surprised with a great result . However, this country contribute two Eurosceptic parties cut , although very different: the Northern League, far right , has five seats; while the left alternative Five Star Movement , Beppe Grillo, provide no less than 17 representatives.
The same is true in Germany, where there are two anti- EU forces have managed to sneak for the first time in the European Parliament , after the country eliminated the minimum threshold of 5 % of the vote. Alternative for Germany ( AfD ) won seven seats , while the pro-Nazi NPD party gets one . The list is completed in Poland, with three seats for the Congress of New Right ; Sweden, which contributes two seats with the Sweden Democrats ; and Belgium, where the Vlaams Belang MEP achieved
