00:00The rise of the far right and the radicalization of much of politics across Europe have turned
00:07this EU election into the most controversial in its history.
00:11In the last election in 2019, only 50.7% of voters turned out.
00:17So what might happen this time?
00:19We can't forget that we're not talking about European elections, but 27 national elections.
00:24So the approach to abstentionism will certainly differ across countries that these elections
00:31take place and the current issues at stake.
00:35According to the Euronews Poll Center, young voters could in fact raise the turnout in
00:39France and Germany.
00:41The poll suggests the young voters of the two big shots of the EU are being tempted
00:45by the far right.
00:46Meanwhile, in Slovakia, in 2019, the country recorded the lowest electoral turnout in all
00:52of the EU, with only 22.7% bothering to vote.
00:58But this time, after the failed attempt to assassinate the anti-EU prime minister, Robert
01:03Fitzel, shocked the country.
01:05The figure is expected to rise much higher.
