Germany's conservative alliance finished first in the European Parliament election, and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party finished second.

Germany's conservatives finished first in the European Union's elections, as far-right momentum within the bloc has sent France's leadership scrambling. The conservative alliance of the Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union garnered 30.2% of the vote Sunday, Politico reported, citing a projection by German public television.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right party won European elections with a strong 28% of the votes, boosting her leadership at home. Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party confirmed its status as the country’s most popular party, even improving its performance from the 26% it won in the 2022 general elections, according to projections by state broadcaster RAI based on almost 70% of votes counted. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
