The results of the European Parliament elections are out! Voters use their votes to cast a new life?

The much-anticipated political drama, the first European Parliament election since the UK's Brexit, has come to an end.

Preliminary results in the German region showed that the largest opposition party, the CDU/CSU, won the most votes, but the Alternative for Germany (AfD), considered to be far-right, came in second, surpassing the traditional Social Democratic Party (SPD).

The European Parliament elections were held in German constituencies on June 9. According to preliminary results, the CDU/CSU once again became the strongest German political party in the European Parliament, winning 30% of the vote. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) achieved its best result in its history, securing 15.9% of the vote and placing it in second place.

Conversely, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democratic Party (SPD) saw its vote share plummet from 15.8% five years ago to 13.9%, its worst result ever. The other two ruling parties in the "traffic light coalition," the Greens and the Free Democrats, also saw their vote share decline compared to the previous election.

After the results came out, Germany's established political parties were in mourning. Social Democratic Party leader Klingbeil called it a "crushing defeat" and vowed to find out "how exactly it came about." Green Party Chairman Lang was also disappointed with the result, declaring that the entire party would "solve this problem together."

Christian Social Union (CSU) leader Söder said the election results proved that German voters had "rejected" the current federal government with their ballots. Voters used their votes to prove the beginning of a new dynasty.

However, the Choice Party slapped its opponents in the face with a "historic victory".

Across Europe, centrist parties also suffered significant losses, while the far right and far left saw significant gains. For example, the Identity and Democracy (ID), considered a far-right populist party, won 58 seats in the European Parliament, while the right-leaning, Eurosceptic European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) secured 73 seats.

The results of this European election may be what voters like.

As the old saying goes, it's not who comes to power that matters; what matters is what they do. Regardless of which power holds greater influence in Europe's future, "mutual benefit and win-win" is likely to remain the optimal option.
