Abstract
The results of the 2019 European Parliament (EP) elections cast an unprecedented challenge for the European Union (EU). Growing popularity of right-wing and left-wing, populist and radical political parties and the rising number of members of the parliament materialise the challenge. The article explores the seismic effects of the reconfiguration of the political landscape for European integration. The rising number of populist and radical political parties’ members of the parliament might weaken the political centre of gravity in the EP. Since the EP plays an important role on the legislative process of the EU, populist and radical parties’ Euroscepticism (if not their standpoint against the EU) might pervade the EP and threaten the EU with the prospect of setback, or at least stagnation.

Summary
The results of the 2019 European Parliament (EP) elections cast an unprecedented challenge for the European Union (EU). Talvez ainda mais sintomático seja a verificação da série temporal relativa a estes países, concluindo-se que, com a exceção da Hungria (onde, dado o peso do FIDESZ e o facto de o segundo partido mais votado, o JOBBIK ser ainda mais radical, os partidos populistas se sobrepuseram aos partidos moderados), nos demais países considerados se notou uma inversão de tendência ao longo das sucessivas eleições.
