BRUSSELS — European Union voters go to the polls in a week's time, with far-right, nationalist parties expected to do well in the bloc's next parliament in a time of social and geopolitical uncertainty.The outcome of the June 6–9 elections will help determine the makeup of the next European Commission, whose chief Ursula von der Leyen is hoping to earn a second term.
Yet, to achieve parliamentary majorities, broader coalitions may need to be formed, at least on an ad hoc basis.One could, as now, incorporate the centrist grouping that includes the party of French President Emmanuel Macron, which looks headed for a midterm drubbing.Another could have the EPP working with far-right lawmakers, something von der Leyen has left the door open to — as long as they were not anti-EU or Moscow's 'puppets.
