Four-day voting marathon kicks off in Netherlands

EUROPE VOTES © FRANCE 24

Polls have opened in the Netherlands, where four days of voting have kicked off across the EU in the 2024 election for the European Parliament. In our series of portraits of young voters in the EU, we talk to Dina, a 24-year-old actress from the Netherlands.

In this edition of Europe Votes, we also talk about the election campaign in Spain, where the country’s data watchdog suspended two EU election tools from Meta’s Instagram and Facebook, citing data protection concerns. The tools would have reminded people to vote on June 9.

In our Everyday Europe segment, Elitsa Gadeva brings ham and strange-looking biscuits to the table – to illustrate the EU’s efforts to limit nitrite salts.

FRANCE 24's correspondents Alix Le Bourdon and David Keating report from Belgium, where the future of nuclear energy is a combustible issue in the election campaign.

And FRANCE 24's Luke Brown and Sophie Samaille explain how the main parliamentary groups voted in the 2019-2024 EU mandate.
