Elections in Europe carry on in Ireland and the Czech Republic.
The EU-wide election results are anticipated on Sunday evening, once voting stations in Germany and other countries have shut down. The Berlin traffic light coalition, spearheaded by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the SPD, views this contest as a gauge of public opinion before state elections in eastern Germany and federal elections in 2025. Researchers suggest a downward trend for the SPD, Greens, and FDP and an uptick for the CDU/CSU and the AfD. Additionally, a shift to the right is anticipated at the European level.
