European elections: media, headlines and comments. New York Times, “right did well, center held”. Washington Post, “rightward tilt for political establishment”

Here are the EU elections followed and covered by media outlets across the world. In the New York Times, the graph showing the election results is flanked by “Conservatives dominate” in the headline of the article dedicated to Europe: “The voting across 27 members of the European Union was a gauge of popular political sentiment at an unsettling moment on the continent”, it reads; “the right did well, but the center held”. The Washington Post reports that the elections “translated into a rightward tilt for the European Union’s political establishment” with an article pointing to the paradox of the outcome: “The far right surged in nations including Germany and Austria, but nowhere with more impact than in France”, although “pro-European parties appeared to have won a majority of seats in the E.U.’s legislative body” and “far-right parties lost ground in long illiberal Hungary, as well as in Poland”. The headline of the Sydney Morning Herald reads: “Far-right parties rattle traditional EU powers as humiliated Macron calls snap French election“. The Times of India, the day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the oath of office for a third term, recounts the outcome of the European elections with an article dedicated to the visit of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to France today, whose words are in the headline: “Never forget damage done by nationalism and hate”. In the Chinese “China Daily”, the events of election night were closely followed, until the resignation of Belgian Prime Minister De Croo. In Argentina’s La nación, the headline reads “Tension in Europe. The surge of the far-right does not shake Brussels, but rattles Paris and Berlin”.
