Brussels – Elections kick off, as is now tradition, but with some changes. The Dutch, the first, by the official calendar, to go to the polls<\/a> today (June 6), know it well. For them, the 2024 European elections mean voting to elect two more MEPs than five years ago. As a result of Brexit,\u00a0the European Parliament has decided to reallocate\u00a0to member states part of the seats left empty by the British. More<\/strong>\u00a0than 12 EU member states have gained seats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are 15 more MEPs than the composition with which the EU Parliament worked until last month. Benefiting most from the reorganization of the Parliament\u00a0are France, Spain, and the Netherlands, which, compared to the legislature that has just come to an end, gain two MEPs each. The remaining nine “extra” seats have been allocated, one each, to Belgium, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Therefore, there is one more reason to go to the polls for the European citizens of the member states affected by the reform. Increasing the number of eligible MEPs increases the country’s representation in Europe and the possibility of making the citizens’ voices heard more and better on the old and new issues that the new institution will have\u00a0to handle<\/a> after the European elections.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This is the result from the partial redistribution of seats left vacant by the British due to Brexit.
