Europe's Socialists are struggling to combat the rise of the far-right, with lead candidate Nicolas Schmit expressing confidence in their victory despite the surge. The Party of European Socialists is ramping up attacks on conservatives and liberals in their EU election manifesto, as they face the challenge of countering the far-right's momentum.

Rising costs, immigration, and a decline in living standards have contributed to the appeal of populist rhetoric, leading to concerns about the normalization of far-right politics and its potential impact on the upcoming EU parliamentary election.
