Resumen
MAIOR, Paulo Vila. “Dying from within”? The challenges of populism and the 2019 European elections. População e Sociedade [online]. 2021, n.35, pp.1-24. Epub 01-Ene-2022. ISSN 0873-1861. https://doi.org/10.52224/21845263/rev35a1.
The results of the 2019 European Parliament (EP) elections cast an unprecedented challenge for the European Union (EU). Growing popularity of right-wing and left-wing, populist and radical political parties and the rising number of members of the parliament materialise the challenge. The article explores the seismic effects of the reconfiguration of the political landscape for European integration. The rising number of populist and radical political parties’ members of the parliament might weaken the political centre of gravity in the EP. Since the EP plays an important role on the legislative process of the EU, populist and radical parties’ Euroscepticism (if not their standpoint against the EU) might pervade the EP and threaten the EU with the prospect of setback, or at least stagnation.
