  • The recent European elections confirmed a trend that began in the 1990s, showing that support for far-right parties has spread like wildfire across the continent. In France, Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National won 31.5 percent of the vote and reached the second round of the national legislative elections, although it ultimately lost. In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party came first with 28.8 percent, while the Freedom Party of Austria also topped the polls with 25.4 percent of the preferences. Alternative for Germany achieved a startling result: Germany’s ultra-right party became the second-largest political formation (16 percent) after the CDU and ahead of Olaf Scholz’s SPD. Yves Mény, the first Director of the Robert Schuman Center at the European University Institute, delves into the political dynamics that have contributed to the rise of right-wing parties in Europe.
