"Rise of Right-Wing Populism Threatens EU Election Landscape"

A new poll forecasts a surge for right-wing populist parties in the upcoming EU election, with the far-right Identity & Democracy faction and the European Conservatives and Reformists group expected to make significant gains. Despite this, pro-European forces could still secure a majority in the Parliament. However, a right-wing surge may shift the center of gravity in the Parliament and potentially hinder green policies, affect foreign affairs, and boost pro-Russia representation.
