European results<\/h2>\n

The results of the 2019 European elections held this Sunday 26 May in Spain and much of Europe are already beginning to be revealed. The turnout in Europe has been close to 51%<\/strong>, which is a significant increase and the highest rate for the last twenty years. This counteracts the drop in participation in Portugal (around 30%), being the lowest in its democratic history.<\/p>\n

As for the results, the first projections of the European Parliament indicate that the European People’s Party has won the European elections <\/strong>with 178 seats; the Socialists<\/strong>\u00a0 have obtained 153, somewhat below the polls. Thirdly, Alde-Reinassance<\/strong>, the product of the merger of the Liberals with the movement of Emmanuel Macron, which burst with 105 seats according to this exercise. And finally, in fourth place,\u00a0Greens-EFA <\/strong>with 69 seats.<\/p>\n
