"Rise of Right-Wing Populism Threatens EU Election Landscape, Warns Report"

Polling suggests that populist "anti-European" parties are poised for significant gains in the upcoming European elections, potentially shifting the parliament's balance to the right and impacting key EU agendas. The report warns of potential implications for climate action, migration, and EU sovereignty, as well as the formation of a majority right-wing coalition. Mainstream political groups are projected to lose MEPs, while the populist right, including far-right parties, may emerge as the main victors. The report calls for policymakers to address the trends driving voting patterns and advocate for a more global Europe.

"Europe's Evolving Climate Strategy: Navigating Net Zero and Multimodal CO2 Transport"

The European Union's ambitious emissions goals are facing scrutiny and opposition, particularly from right-wing parties, as public resistance to climate policies grows. The European People’s Party, led by Manfred Weber, is showing a changing attitude towards green policies due to the surge of populist Right in the polls and growing public resistance. The shift reflects a discovery of anger against Net Zero policies as a powerful theme for mobilizing disenchanted voters, with support for emissions reduction policies softening as the cost becomes more apparent. This poses a challenge for Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, whose championing of green policies is increasingly viewed as a liability in the battle for votes.

EU Member States Achieve Breakthrough in Migration Policy Reform

EU member states have reached a deal on a migration and asylum overhaul, focusing on handling irregular immigration during times of high arrivals. The agreement paves the way for further negotiations and aims to make the changes legally binding before the upcoming EU elections, which are expected to bring a rightward shift to the continent. The package includes support for countries like Italy, processing centers on the EU's outer borders, and the authority to detain asylum seekers during the claims process. Right-wing parties in several countries have made immigration a central issue, while human rights groups criticize Europe's restrictive approach to immigration.

"Germany's Urgent Need for Structural Change to Avoid Becoming the Sick Man of Europe"

Commerzbank CEO Manfred Knof has warned that Germany needs to implement structural changes to prevent a political shift to the right. He expressed concern that the population is unhappy due to unresolved structural problems and emphasized the need for modernization and tackling necessary changes. Knof also highlighted the reluctance of Germany's small-to-medium-sized companies to invest in their own country, citing the challenging situation and the lack of a conducive framework. These comments echo similar concerns raised by industry leaders and experts about the German economy and the government's approach to sustainability.

Germany's Economic Decline Fuels Right-Wing Shift

Germany is facing economic challenges, including a decline in manufacturing output and high energy prices, leading to the country being dubbed the "sick man of Europe." These challenges, particularly in the energy sector, could benefit right-wing parties. The reliance on renewable technologies and the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045 have raised doubts about the feasibility of Germany's sustainability goals. The volatility of renewable energy and the need for conventional energy to fill gaps pose difficulties and high costs for industry. Uncertainty about energy prices has contributed to a decline in business sentiment. As a result, there is a growing shift to the right in German politics, with the right-leaning Alternative for Germany party gaining popularity.

"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.

"Spain's Right-Wing Parties Poised for Parliamentary Majority in Key Election"

Exit polls from Spain's parliamentary election indicate that the conservative party PP is likely to lead negotiations to form a new government, potentially ending the socialist rule of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. PP secured between 145 and 150 seats, followed by the socialist party PSOE. The far-right party Vox is in contention for the third-largest political force. The possibility of PP joining forces with Vox raises concerns due to Vox's controversial policies on LGBT rights, immigration, abortion, and climate change denial. The election, held during the summer, focused heavily on cultural and societal matters, despite Sanchez's strong economic record.

Chile's conservatives take charge of constitution rewrite.

Chile's right-wing parties have won a majority of votes to elect advisers to draft a new constitution, marking a sharp shift from a progressive majority that drafted a failed first constitutional rewrite. The final results will determine the exact makeup of a 50-seat Constitutional Council that will be in charge of drafting a new constitution. The Republican Party, the most conservative of those represented in the new council, will now be the leading political force. The constitutional advisers elected on Sunday will start drawing up a new constitution in June based on a draft compiled by 24 constitutional experts appointed by the National Congress in March.
