The power of the right in europe tells the true narrative....

Europe is currently going through an important political change. Far-right parties are gaining unprecedented popularity across the european continent. The recent european parliament elections have surprised people politically. Far-right parties have made considerable inroads in many major european countries. This rightward shift is not just a temporary phenomenon but a trend. Even though the right-wing party did not get a majority in the French elections, the Labour party formed a government in England, but the enthusiasm for the right in europe shows that this is not a phenomenon that can be easily avoided, but it is here to stay for a long time.

France, germany, UK, italy, spain and austria moved right clockwise

The influence of Marine Le Pen's party National Rally has been particularly influential in France. Securing 30 of France's 81 seats in the european parliament, the party's success forced President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National assembly and call a snap election. In the first round of voting on june 30, the National Rally came out on top with 33.15% of the vote. Although no party managed to reach an absolute majority (289 seats) in the second round, Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party and its allies won 143 seats, a sharp increase on their number of seats in recent years. germany has not been untouched by this right-wing surge. Despite being embroiled in scandals involving alleged spying for china and controversial statements about Hitler's Waffen-SS, the Alternative for germany (AfD) came second in the european parliament elections with 16% of the vote and 15 seats. The result is particularly worrying because it performed better than Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democratic party (SPD), which came third. While Britain, which is no longer part of the EU, has seen similar trends, with right-wing sentiment playing a key role in the Brexit referendum and subsequent political developments.

In the recent election this month, the far-right party Reform UK received a 14 percent vote share and won four seats in the UK Parliament. The success of far-right parties in these influential european countries reflects changes in broader continental politics. In italy, Giordano Meloni's Brothers of italy emerged as the largest party in the european parliament elections, gaining 24 seats and strengthening its position domestically and within the EU. The rise of parties such as Vox in spain and the Freedom party in austria further underlines this trend.
