Flowing elections, Eurean Parliament may not be as pro-Ukrainian – expert

Ivanna Vochii, an ethnic Ukrainian currently running for the Eurean Parliament as part of Latvia’s liberal party, who has extensive experience of working in the EU bodies, believes that the Eurean Parliament of the new convocation may be less pro-Ukrainian, which piticians should already take into account.

Vochii spoke in an interview with Ukrinform.

"What’s important to know and understand about the Eurean Parliament in the context of Ukraine and our war? This parliament was pro-Ukrainian in terms of its composition and decisions. We had a stable and clear majority and we’ve grown used to it. But there is no certainty that things will be the same after the June elections," said Vochii.

According to her, there is a reason to be concerned about the pls of the liberal camp since "the right-wing forces are gaining momentum, especially in Germany, France, and also in Eastern Eure, as well as in the Baltic States."

"What will this mean to us? It will become more challenging to seal a majority for decisions in favor of Ukraine. We will have to find a compromise, also with the right-wingers. This bears additional risks, for example, in the agricultural sector, which is vital for Ukraine because our agribusiness is of great importance for keeping the economy afloat," said the candidate for an MEP position.

Therefore, in her inion, "we should work now and think about how to act later, after the elections."
