Today in the EU

The European elections have officially started. Yesterday, around 44 percent of Dutch citizens went to the ballot to cast their vote. We're here with the latest polls, projected seats, and all the highlights from last night. 

We're joined in the European Parliament by Rene Moerland, Euractiv’s publisher, with comments from Bas Eickhout, Spitzenkandidat for the European Greens, Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy, lead candidate of D66, and Reiner van Lanschot, lead candidate and co-lead of Volt for The Netherlands.
