Opinion: Biggest flaw in EU democracy is lack of political debate The European elections are just around the corner. Democracy in the EU has shortcomings, but the EU has mostly lacked political debate in recent decades. It is good that this is changing. In June, more than 400 million Europeans will have to go to the polls again for ... yes, what exactly? If you do not know what European elections are for, it is not up to you. For a long time, a vote in European elections was mainly a vote for the EU. That tide is turning, and that is a good thing. Because European elections should not be a celebration of European unity, but a battle between political visions.

In her latest B|Brief, Chloe-Alexandra Ladd delves into the latest French political dynamics as the country looks to the the European elections today. With 81 seats at play, and a rising far-right, the President’s coalition finds itself at a critical juncture- facing significant challenges. But lessons can, and should, be learned from the EU elections on the road to the Presidential elections in 2027. https://lnkd.in/eFHr2xKH

One of the most interesting things I've found during this election cycle on the road to the EU elections in France has been the spillover of national debates into the space. We find a Bardella (Le Pen camp) and Hayer (Macron camp) match up once more. But with current polls indicating 31% of 18–24-year-olds voting for the far-right and only 4% voting for the presidential camp, there are clearly lessons to be drawn on the road to the Presidential elections in 2027. The EU election results will be important for France to take seriously moving forward.

The EU’s 2024 Institutional Transition Timeline The upcoming European Parliament Elections are a crucial moment in the EU's broader institutional renewal taking place in 2024. The introduction of new policy priorities from the European Council and the European Parliament, alongside the appointment of a new College of Commissioners, will lead to an adjusted agenda for the next five years. The increasingly volatile geopolitical context and major elections taking place around the globe will also play a crucial role. At the EU level, preparations for the next policy cycle are already in full swing. With this in mind, strategic foresight and proactive planning become indispensable. Now is the moment for organizations to assess the alignment of their goals with the emerging policy landscape. Here is a handy timeline to help you navigate the key moments of the EU institutional transition this year.  *Please note that most dates are tentative as they depend on political decisions taken after the elections. #europeanparliament #politics #elections
