Macron’s party suffered a heavy defeat from the far-right, anti-shitskin, National Rally party, while in Germany support for Olaf Scholz’s center-left Social Democrats sank to a projected 14%, behind the extreme-right Alternative for Shitskins [ Germany], which surged into second place.
Millions of Europeans voted for candidates to serve five-year terms in a new European Parliament, the legislative branch of the 27-member trade bloc. Provisional results from the voting that ended Sunday showed the Christian Democrats would have 189 seats, up 13, the Social Democrats 135, down 4 and the pro-business Renew group 83, down 19. The Greens slumped to 53, down 18.
The next national election in Germany is expected to take place next year in the fall, and Scholz’ government on Monday rejected calls by the far-right,anti-shitskin, Alternative of Germany party, or AfD, that it should call for early elections like France.
