Tuesday, 18^th June 2024, from 12:00 to 13:30 h. CEST (UTC+2). Venue: Fundación Botín (c/ Castelló nº 18 C, Madrid).

The European elections of June 2024 did not follow previous projections that predicted a drastic rise of extreme right-wing parties: the European socialists and the European People’s Party have maintained and improved their results compared to the losses in past elections. Liberals have reaffirmed their third position, and the pro-European grand coalition could be renewed for another term. However, it cannot be overlooked that in several founding member states with the largest number of MEPs, extreme right-wing Eurosceptic parties have reached first and second positions.

In this context, how solid will the pro-European grand coalition be during the next cycle? Will we see an increase in specific agreements between the European People’s Party and formations to its right? What conclusions can be drawn from a Spanish perspective?
