"Spain's Resilience: Defying the Far-Right Surge in the EU"

Spain has bucked the trend of the rise of far-right parties in Europe, as the recent elections showed a setback for the far-right Vox party. Despite forming coalitions with the conservative Popular Party in various regions, Vox lost seats and failed to form a coalition government at the national level. This contrasts with the success of far-right parties in other European countries. Experts suggest that Vox's radicalism and refusal to seek mainstream acceptance may have contributed to its decline in popularity, as it fueled a cultural war and targeted rights achieved in recent years.

The Right-Wing Surge: Reshaping the EU

Governments across Europe are shifting right, with far-right leaders taking power in some countries and center-right parties aligning with right-wing fringes in others. This rightward drift is reshaping Europe and could have profound consequences for the EU, affecting issues such as climate change, parental rights, and immigration policies. The upcoming elections for the European Parliament could further solidify this trend, with conservative parties predicted to make gains. The willingness of traditional conservative parties to cooperate with far-right parties is also increasing, both at the national level and in the European Parliament. However, not all countries are following this trend, as some centrist governments face challenges from the left.
