Between today and Sunday (depending on the country) the elections for the European Parliament will take place.

Commonly it doesn't exactly have the largest turnout among elections, which I believe is mostly because to a lot of people the EU government seems like a complicated and faraway thing, which makes them feel their vote is probably not that important or relevant.

Nevertheless, polls from the past several months have indicated that conservative right-wing populist parties (which are generally anti-EU and/or pro-Russia) are expected to gain a lot more votes and seats.
All the more reason for left/progressive-minded EU citizens to cast their vote. No faction will have an absolute majority, though in my opinion this is an especially important time for European solidarity.

So to all my fellow European CEople, please get out there and vote, and feel free to share your (preferably constructive) thoughts about it!
