MEP Nathalie Loiseau of France is lobbying for individual sanctions on all observers of the Russian-organized referendums in the Donbass region. She has singled out journalist Vanessa Beeley not only for her coverage of the vote, but for her reporting on the foreign-backed war against Syria’s government.

On October 1st, Russia’s Tass news agency reported that the Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin condemned the European Parliament for having blamed Stalin along with Hitler as having started World War II. He said, “The recent resolution adopted by the European Parliament that assigned the historic blame for the outbreak of the Second World War on the Soviet Union is nothing but a product of the cynical, immoral and even sleazy political put-up job.”
If there is one big takeaway from the recent European Parliamentary elections it is that centrist parties which stand for nothing in particular represent a lot fewer people. From both the ‘left’ and the ‘right’ the center lost ground across Europe.
The Euroskeptics got a lot of press in the run up to these elections and the final result was pretty much in line with expectations, with a couple of exceptions. The pro-EU left lost a lot more ground in Sweden than expected but the Dutch People’s Party were rejected thoroughly in the Netherlands.
The EU Parliamentary elections for 2019 are over and the general media consensus is that this has been a major win for the “Far-Right” (mediaspeak for those they don’t like) with this government body now having a record number of “sceptics” coming to the table. The Right has indeed made gains and the status quo big blocks have taken notable losses.
Just how important is the European Parliament and its election results in both shaping the EU and Europe as a whole? The European elections saw a considerable boost towards right wing/populist parties, following a catastrophic, confused immigration policy by Brussels which couldn’t prevent political instability in countries affected by flows from Syria, Afghanistan and Libya in recent years. But what impact will that now how depends largely on the appointment now of a number of top EU officials, who will be elected through a draconian voting system within the EU’s institutions themselves.

The EU Parliament elections that wrapped up over the weekend may not have been the blowout that some predicted for German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron. But the champions of the European political establishment were still badly damaged.
Over this weekend 28 member states of the European Union go to the polls in an impressive exercise of democracy. Polling takes place over four days, ending on Sunday. The full results won’t be finalized until next week. But already it is widely anticipated that so-called populist parties across the bloc will make significant gains in winning seats in the 751-member chamber of the European Parliament.
