03:03German MEP Manfred Weber told a gathering of his European People's Party (EPP) in Brussels on Sunday that "Europeans decided today about their future."
Weber told his cheering supporters that "one message is crystal clear: we will not work together with those who don't believe in Europe, with those who want to destroy Europe. The Europe of today is our Europe, it's the Europe of the EPP, of the Christian Democrats and we will defend this Europe against the nationalists. That is what we will do."
The EPP, which ran on a platform of stability in the EU, is expected to win the most MEP seats in parliament but will likely need to enter a coalition due to lost of seats and to Greens and far-right surge in these elections.
