Emmanuel Macron's grand plan for the European Parliament election may have fallen flat — but its spirit lives on
Sandro Gozi — an Italian former undersecretary for European affairs in Matteo Renzi's government — and Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, a Franco-Greek doctor, joined the election campaign on the candidate list of Macron's La République en Marche .
He added: "Sometimes with small examples we can make big change, but we need women and men who can represent this change, and I believe we are representing this fundamental change. We will never have a real European democracy if we don’t have transnational movements, if we don’t go beyond borders.
Varoufakis' Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 isn't making much of an impact in opinion polls, so it's unlikely he will win a seat. "European Parliament elections are a unique opportunity to campaign across the whole of Europe with a single manifesto for the Europe we want," Varoufakis said."No other election gives us the opportunity to practice the transnational politics that is so necessary now."Iurie Leancă is one of many dual citizens running in the European election, but what makes his candidacy unusual is his long political career outside the EU.
