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.
