Elections in 27 countries for the European Parliament ended on Sunday, with early projections giving far-right parties a strong showing, a result that, if confirmed, would amount to a powerful gauge of voter dissatisfaction and a stinging rebuke for the political mainstream.
The results are likely to make it harder for the European Parliament to form majorities to pass laws, and would render negotiations over divisive issues even tougher.
The projected outcome did not bode well for Europe's centrist leaders and their parties, including in France and Germany, the continent's biggest powers that are considered the engine of Europe's experiment in pooling national sovereignty.
