In this fragmented #EP2024 result there are lots of stories to tell.
One thing I'm missing in commentary this morning is the near-total absence of a left-wing vote in Poland and Hungary.

🧵
The media/analyst framing I've read so far focuses on two duels.
In Poland, between the governing #CivicCoalition (KO), dominated by Tusk's Civic Platform (PO) and the hard right Law and Justice party (#PiS).
In Hungary, between Orban's #Fidesz and challenger Magyar's #Tisza.

Zoom in on #Poland
The big picture is a shift from PiS (-5 seats) to far-right Konfederacja (+6)
The Tusk-led KO (mainly EPP) has 20 seats, like PiS, but more votes.
The united left (Lewica) are at 6% & 3 seats while right-w. lists (TD, KO, PiS, Konf.) take >90% & 50/53 seats!

Look at #Hungary.
Orban's Fidesz underperformed at 44% & 11 seats. Where they go in the EP is the big question.
Magyar's new Tisza won 30% & 7 seats. They're expected to join the EPP.
The united left slump to 8% & 2 seats.
In total, right-wing parties got >80% & 19/21 seats!
