Andrija Henjak European parliament elections in Croatia took place only a year after the special EP elections held in 2013 just before Croatia’s accession to the EU. Croatian entry into the EU, unlike the accession of other countries of central and Eastern Europe in 2004 and 2007, was not an event market by palpable enthusiasm and high expectations, but rather, it was market with subdued optimism or indifference.

di Bruno Marino Le elezioni per il Parlamento Europeo sembrano essere acqua passata per molti politici italiani e stranieri, concentrati rispettivamente sulle vicende italiane e sulla selezione del Presidente della Commissione Europea. In realtà, è utile analizzare i risultati delle recenti elezioni europee, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il gruppo dell’Alleanza dei Democratici e dei Liberali per l’Europa (ALDE). Partiamo da alcuni grafici, che aiuteranno a comprendere meglio quello che è successo in casa liberaldemocratica. Fig. 1 – Risultati elettorali dei liberaldemocratici.
