European elections extravaganza

A shock in France: President Emmanuel Macron takes a gamble, calling a snap parliamentary election after his party suffers a humiliating defeat in EU elections. The Centre holds but the Far-Right sees record support, unsettling the bloc's mainstream establishment. Germany's ruling coalition suffers its worst ever result as the rise of the right raises questions over the government's stability. And, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni comes out on top - solidifying her mandate and positioning herself as one of the most powerful figures in the European Union.
