This chapter concludes our analysis of the tenth set of elections to the European Parliament held in 2024. It notes that European issues were firmly on the agenda, which was not always the case in previous EP elections. In part this reflected the changed geopolitics in Europe. At the heart of the agenda of the first von der Leyen Commission (2019–2024) were Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the energy crisis and climate change (plus a European Green Deal), irregular migration and the 2023 Pact on Asylum and Immigration, inter-generational and social justice, economic well-being and the impact of the Covid-pandemic on crisis responsiveness, competitiveness and new technologies, and Europe’s role in the world. All of these issues helped set the agenda for the 2024 elections. The chapter highlights some of the new challenges that faced the EU institutions and Member States alike, notably the problems of misinformation and fake news. Finally, it discusses the novel ways in which the EU, especially the European Commission, has been trying to engage citizens.

摘要

This chapter concludes our analysis of the tenth set of elections to the European Parliament held in 2024. It notes that European issues were firmly on the agenda, which was not always the case in previous EP elections. In part this reflected the changed geopolitics in Europe. At the heart of the agenda of the first von der Leyen Commission (2019–2024) were Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the energy crisis and climate change (plus a European Green Deal), irregular migration and the 2023 Pact on Asylum and Immigration, inter-generational and social justice, economic well-being and the impact of the Covid-pandemic on crisis responsiveness, competitiveness and new technologies, and Europe’s role in the world. All of these issues helped set the agenda for the 2024 elections. The chapter highlights some of the new challenges that faced the EU institutions and Member States alike, notably the problems of misinformation and fake news. Finally, it discusses the novel ways in which the EU, especially the European Commission, has been trying to engage citizens.
