Summary/Abstract: The article advances two hypotheses as to the capacity of the newly elected EP to fully implement its institutional potential in the overall governance process within the EU. The first one explores the influence of the dominant crisis issues during the previous legislature for the electoral mobilisations and the casted results. The second one is related to the level of coherence of political families vis-à-vis the new divides around the European project priorities among the member-states. The article advances some observations as to an expected stalemate in terms of sustainable coalition formation and effective legislative role of the EP at least at the start of the ninth legislature mandate. A situation that might reproduce impetus for a certain crisis of governance.
