a pro european constructive forces in this parliament david mcallister with me here from the european peoples party thank you for him very much for finding some time on this very emotional and very interesting evening here and with that back to you phil marks thanks for that much hoffman in brussels of the european parliament more from us across the across the evening so what we know so far in terms of an exit to polls and partial results c.d.u. in germany 28.6 percent of the greens a 2nd on $20.00 of the esprit de the c.d.u. coalition partners 15.3 percent disappointing result for them the last results that we had in the exit polls were from france where the peds national rally appears to have done very well let s join the lisa who is out with emmanuel mccall s all macho party in paris we ll get to reaction in just a sec lisa but to talk us through the rest of the figures if you have them.
we re seeing is the idea of european cooperation the idea of european unity is being challenged by radicals by populist by nationals from the far right and the far left what does this mean for us in the european bottom and we need a stable majority for the next 5 years we need a closer cooperation of the pro european constructive forces that s why we as a european peoples party are ready to negotiate with the social democrats with the liberals with the greens that we have a clear majority in this parliament against those political forces who want to destroy european cooperation and we have to take this challenge from the far right and seriously it doesn t look like though you re going to get that stability i mean where should it come from it s going to get harder to get a majority you know s. and these are the social democrats and the conservatives together won t have a majority most likely so how and and with which topics are you going to forge a majority you re talking about the pro
they ll manage to put together a functioning a working alliance with european parliament they ve tried before over the last 2 or 3 legislative periods right wing nationalist forces and always struggle to come up with coherent policies we ve seen that actually would not in the pen her party s been embroiled in a position is all of let s say not being to transparent about money. also their record when it comes to managed to push forward legislation as being. really not such a structure in the least as so i you know the numbers might be good but maybe not all the way works but i think you see how in germany for instance if they go barely over 10 percent that is well below what they were hoping for it was picked up to put up with you melinda a disappointing result so far for their state yes in fact they had been hoping
paint this as a victory as they are somewhere between one and 2 percentage points ahead of him and michael having said that. i would have liked to have been the 1st body in all this but rejoice in dead the greens have done extremely well and the greens in fromm s are very much a prove european party and so even if you look at the total of the electorate the result is a positive one for open progressive pro european forces and b. docs in the poem but as we just saw of that report going to be one of the countries where we re going to be looking for a far right insurgency if i can put it that way and this is this idea that s going to unites across the bloc and you see that happening i see them doing it certainly extremely well in italy that we were talking about 36 percent of the vote but you know even if they were to get a $33.00 person that will be the last one. the question will be to what extent
together the ethiopian the social democrats plus the liberals and the greens we are ready to reach out our hand to beas of a pro european constructive forces what we definitely don t need is a political majority in this european parliament which is dependent on radicals and demagogues from the far right of the far left so that means the center is beyond so and you see enough topics where you can really work together with all those political groups you just mentioned of course we have different political views but in a democracy it s always about finding a consensus and a compromise we are ready to form a corporation a kind of coalition but of course we need to discuss content we have to discuss the main challenges europe is facing in the next 5 years i have always said in this campaign you do should be bigger on big things and smaller on small things we need to deliver on security on border protection on the economy on climate change on the rule of. well there are many many issues and
