Decision Time As France, Germany Headline EU Vote Finale

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : More than 360 million voters were called to vote across the EU over four days, with projected overall results due late Sunday evening.
55% : Meloni is also important to European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen's bid for a second mandate, which will be decided by EU leaders but also needs majority assent in the new European Parliament.
53% : The vote outcome will determine the bloc's next parliament and indirectly the makeup of the powerful European Commission -- thus helping to shape European Union policies over the coming five years.
52% : The final -- and by far biggest -- day of EU elections takes place Sunday with voting in 21 member countries, including France and Germany, where support for surging far-right parties is being tested.
49% : Far-right populism and nationalism are already forces to be reckoned with in Poland and Spain.
46% : "The far-right has not only become a stable feature of EU politics -- it has also been normalised and is no longer a fringe phenomenon in the majority of member states," noted political analyst Zsuzsanna Vegh of the German Marshall Fund.
