Ahead of the 27-member European Union elections earlier this month, experts had predicted a right-wing surge during the four-day exercise.

And that is exactly what happened. While the election didn't produce a populist majority, the center lost more ground as compared to the last vote in 2019.

French President Emmanuel Macron's party was handed a stunning defeat by the far-right, leading him to call for snap parliamentary elections at the end of the month.

So how will the outcome of this election impact and continuing rise of Euroscepticism potentially impact the future of the bloc?
