European voters reject socialism, far-left policies in EU Parliament elections: 'Political earthquake'
Fox News
Experts told Fox News Digital the European Parliament elections should put the White House on notice, as voters rejected far-left policies.
"Firstly, the elections were a political earthquake in Europe," Dr. Nile Gardiner, director of conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, told Fox News Digital. "They were a massive rejection of open borders, mass migration, the far left, green agenda that is being pushed by many European governments. It was also a statement against a growing centralization also of the European Union. And it was an emphatic, euroskeptic, vote in many, many European countries. And so, voters across Europe rejected the ruling socialist or progressive liberal elites from Germany to France to Spain … to Belgium, to the Netherlands. And so this was one of the most significant electoral outcomes in recent European history." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"I think the Biden White House should be very nervous about what's happening across the Atlantic because Europeans are voting on exactly the same issues American voters are voting on as well. The biggest single issue in Europe right now is mass migration and the lack of border security. It's the number one issue in America," Gardiner said. "What you saw in Europe is an effective rejection of liberal left-wing ruling elites, exemplified, of course, by the Biden White House. And so Biden is very similar to Chancellor Schultz in Germany, very similar to Emmanual Macron in France. Biden is a, you know, liberal, progressive, elitist, out of touch with the vast majority of ordinary people. And so, Joe Biden should be a very nervous man right now watching what's happening in Europe."
