After the success in the 2019 elections, Hubert Aiwanger, a prominent figure in the Free Voters (FW) party from Bavaria, expressed his relief, stating, "It's time for celebration." Despite their strong performance in Bavaria, with a 7.0% share, an increase from 5.3% in the previous term, the FW only managed a 2.6% nationwide share, predicted to grant them an additional seat in the European Parliament. It's worth noting that they had previously held two seats in the European Parliament.
