The world's largest multi-country election is currently taking place for the next European Parliament. Today, Spain, France, Germany, and several other nations have opened their polls on the final day of voting. Millions of citizens across 27 countries are participating in shaping the future of the European Union for the next five years.
Italy conducted its voting on Saturday, with issues such as immigration and the conflict in Ukraine at the forefront of many voters' minds, including those on the small island of Lampedusa. The current sentiment among many Europeans is a call for a more peace-oriented Europe, focusing on diplomacy and disarmament through dialogue.
Despite initial hesitations, many citizens are recognizing the importance of their civic duty and are heading to the polls. While significant changes may not be expected, the possibility of new faces emerging in the European Parliament remains a possibility.
In Berlin, massive crowds gathered on Saturday to protest against Germany's right-wing party. Demonstrators proudly displayed EU flags and carried signs encouraging voter turnout. Polls indicate that right-wing parties in various European countries are poised to make substantial gains in this election.
