"EU Parliament Limits Far-Right Influence Amid New Session"

Far-right candidates were blocked from securing vice-president positions in the European Parliament as centrist parties coordinated efforts to prevent radical right-wing influence. While the European Conservatives and Reformists group gained two vice-presidencies, newly-formed far-right groups like Patriots for Europe and Europe of Sovereign Nations were excluded. This move, criticized by far-right representatives as undemocratic, aims to maintain stability and prevent anti-European factions from holding significant power.

"Surge of Right-Wing Power Predicted in 2024 EU Election Polls"

Exclusive polling analysis shows that right-wing and Euroskeptic parties are expected to make significant gains in the 2024 EU election, potentially becoming the third-largest group in the European Parliament. The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) and the Identity and Democracy (ID) group are projected to see notable increases in seats, driven by parties such as Italy's Brothers of Italy and Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD). However, the center-right European People's Party (EPP) is still expected to remain the largest group, while the center-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D) would retain their position as the second-largest group. The Greens would experience a significant loss in seats, while the Left group would gain a few seats.
