the e.u. but that they also want politics to change fundamentally. but the most significant victory of the night went to materials salvini is far right party in italy. there when went beyond all expectations salvini said this was a sign that europe was about to undergo a transformation. only used to lead the 1st party in italy but marine le pen is the 1st party in france and the u.k. nodule for august 1st so easily france england it's the sign of a europe that is changing. but despite his success it's unlikely that salvini will be able to fulfill his dream of working with other nationalists to turn the e.u. on its head from within the populace in other countries did not do as well meaning the far right will still be in a minority in the european parliament. and they're also divided among themselves

hungary is anti immigrant leader viktor netted more than 50 percent of the vote but disagrees with other populists on a range of issues even so analysts say would be no longer possible. for europe to go back to business as usual given the gains made by such parties. while the mainstream center parties have suffered big losses in europe selections among them germany's ruling coalition of conservatives and social democrats speaking about the results the conservative leader acknowledged that her party a failed to address the worries of younger voters especially over climate change. as the results came in at c.d.u. headquarters the scale of the night's losses became clear a blow for the chancellor but not a reason to step down. as our elected chancellor we have to think things through we have no plans for

a change in leadership because that's not decided by one party alone and chided. it was all vs things work during the sea views way even before polls closed once the votes were counted it was up to the party's leader to admit its shortcomings that's a keep this is the seems to me this is the worst result for the c.d.u. in its entire history either at the european or the federal level. and i want to make it completely clear that this is not in line with our claim to be a big tent party spokesman. the c.d.u. once dominated german politics now voters are asking what the future holds on your own ca i think they need to put some thought into who's running things and perhaps also communicate more skillful. i don't think there's a bright side for them like there was after the last few elections. the greens on the other hand had every reason to celebrate

a stunning performance built on their core topics of climate change and digitalisation never has the party been so successful in a nationwide election it doubled its share of the vote at the expense of the governing coalition. of the national level i would hope the government controlled the right conclusions from these elections and that doesn't mean party leaders should worry about what their party's needs are right now but that the government as the name suggests should actually start governing preferably in terms of the key issues of climate protection and a pro european orientation. for the other party in germany's ruling coalition shock and disbelief the social democrats also face their worst ever result in a nationwide election. this austrian chancellor sebastian courts and his government have been ousted after opposition parties joined forces and a vote of no confidence it was a spectacular reverse for a leader who only last night was celebrating victory for his party in the european
