Conservative parties won European
elections in EU-member countries in the Balkans and Hungary.
Former Prime Minister Janez Jansa's centre-right SDS (EPP) won
the most seats in Slovenia's European elections, four out of
nine, while Prime Minister Robert Golob's ruling Freedom
Movement (Renew) came in a distant second with two seats,
according to the portal Euractiv. Croatia's ruling conservatives
have won half of the country's EU Parliament seats. Exit polls
show Croatia's ruling conservative HDZ (EPP) winning six of the
country's twelve seats in the European Parliament. Romania is
sending far-right politicians to the European Parliament for the
first time, but AUR's lower-than-expected vote total has
mainstream parties in the country breathing a sigh of relief.
The GERB party of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov (EPP) won
convincingly in Bulgaria's early parliamentary elections and the
European vote, while Orbán's Fidesz faces its worst-ever EU
election result. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz
party won the European elections in Hungary on Sunday, but it
was the party's lowest-ever EU election result, as the
opposition gained ground, the portal reported.
