Europe’s leaders meet to analyse eurosceptic poll wins
uropean leaders hold a summit in Brussels Tuesday, their first chance to digest the stunning success of eurosceptic and far-right parties at EU polls which has shaken the continent's political landscape.
France's President Francois Hollande called Monday for Brussels' power to be reined in after what newspaper headlines called an "earthquake" in Europe.
That tremor was delivered by European voters backing eurosceptics in a stinging rebuke to Brussels, with France's National Front (FN) and Britain's UKIP leading the pack of anti-EU parties.
Hollande went on national television to call for the EU to reduce its role, which he said had become for many citizens "remote and incomprehensible".
