2024 European Parliament elections

Abstract

This paper aims to determine the significance of the 2024 European Parliament elections and draw fundamental conclusions based on the current results. As we know, from June 6 to 9, 2024, the tenth regular elections of the European Parliament, the legislative body of the European Union, were held, in which the citizens of the 27 member states of the European Union participated and in total, 720 MEPs from different political groups were elected. The urgency of the mentioned issue is determined by the political, economic, military, and other challenges of the modern European Union, which, taken together, have the potential to create serious obstacles to the security architecture of the European Union. Significantly, the support of ultra-right, nationalist, and, among them, Eurosceptic political parties throughout the EU has increased substantially, which, accordingly, calls into question such fundamental issues as the enlargement of the EU to the east, including Georgia, the fate of the Russia-Ukraine war, the peaceful resolution of the EU immigration crisis, the readiness of the Eurozone against another powerful economic crisis, and many others. It should be noted that based on the analysis of the results of the 2024 European Parliament elections, it is possible to determine, on the one hand, what challenges the European Union is facing and, on the other hand, how they can be solved. Nevertheless, in terms of scientific and analytical articles, so far the information is only about the results of the 2024 European Parliament elections and not its in-depth analysis, which in turn is an obstacle, therefore, with the aid of the mentioned work, we will endeavor to determine the results of the 2024 European Parliament elections, and based on it, draw fundamental conclusions. To conclude, it is crucial to state that the findings summarized in the final part of the paper answer the question of which issues will be given priority in the European Parliament in 2024 and in terms of political influence, which group's authority in the European Parliament will be decisive.
