“European Union leaders are set to meet in Brussels on Tuesday evening under intense pressure to reform the way the bloc is run after insurgent parties secured notable results in four days of legislative elections ending at the weekend,” the New York Times reports.

“Many of the parties that handed a drubbing to more mainstream rivals in the voting for the European Parliament are seeking to diminish, or even dismantle, the six-decade effort to further integrate the Continent.”
