Surge of Far-Right Parties Sweeping Europe

Far-right parties are experiencing a notable resurgence across Europe, with countries like France, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Greece, and Spain witnessing the rise of nationalist, populist, and ultra-conservative parties. Old taboos against collaborating with far-right groups are eroding, and mainstream politicians have adopted some far-right stances, making them seem more mainstream. Far-right parties have also moved towards the political center, appealing to centrist voters. Dissatisfaction with the political mainstream, concerns about identity, economics, and social justice, as well as frustration with traditional politicians' lack of clear answers, are driving the far-right renaissance. These parties now speak about reforming the EU rather than leaving it, and they are predicted to perform strongly in the upcoming European Parliament elections.
