Today all eyes on European elections: 27 EU countries, representing roughly 373,000 eligible voters, will go to the polls to elect national representatives to the European Parliament for the tenth time since the first elections were held in 1979.
The voting officially kicked off this morning at 7.30AM in the Netherlands.
After several projections, including our own Euronews’ Poll Centre, analysts are predicting a significant rightward shift in many EU countries with a surge of far-right parties across the continent.
