"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.

"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.

Maximilian Krah, an incumbent EU Parliament member, has been elected to lead the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's 2024 European Union election campaign. The AfD, which has seen a surge in popularity, aims to capitalize on discontent with the ruling coalition and a weakening economy. The party has already strengthened ties with other European far-right parties and expects to have as many as 20 parliamentarians in the European Parliament. The AfD's success has been particularly notable in East Germany, where it hopes to secure further victories in the upcoming elections.
