As the pollsters had predicted, far-right groups made big gains in last weekend's EU parliamentary elections. In France, Germany, Austria and Belgium to name just a few, there was a large swing to the right - even leading French President Emmanuel Macron to call a surprise snap election.
 
But with the centre-right European People's Party group still the largest in Parliament, what impact will all this really have on the future of Europe?

To consider the results, on this edition of The Agenda Juliet Mann speaks to Jean-Yves Camus - an expert on the far-right in Europe at the Fondation Jean Jaurès at the IRIS think tank , Frank Schwalba-Hoth, founding member of the German Greens and former MEP, Ariadna Ripoll Servent - Professor for Politics of the European Union at Salzburg University and Kristian Vigenin - MEP and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria.
