In recent years, the rise of far-right forces in Europe has been a cause for concern. Despite setbacks in countries like Poland, polls and elections suggest that these forces are gaining momentum and will perform better in the upcoming European elections in June compared to 2019. The ultra-right, which is a diverse and disunited group, has a chance of winning in several countries such as Italy, France, the Netherlands, Hungary, or Austria. Projections show that these parties could obtain more than 180 out of 720 seats in the European Parliament.
The increased presence of extremist groups in the European Parliament could have a significant impact on key issues such as the green transition, rule of law, enlargement towards the east, and immigration policies. However, it is important to note that far-right parties within Europe have considerable differences among themselves on various political agendas.
Differences can be seen in their positions on issues like relations with Russia, rights and status of women in society, fiscal matters, and social policies. While some parties are in favor of stricter positions towards Russia and conservative stances on social issues, others have more moderate approaches. These differences make it challenging for a cohesive far-right group to form in the European Parliament.
Despite some common elements like nationalism and anti-immigration sentiment, far-right parties within Europe adapt their policies based on societal issues and values in their respective countries. Some emphasize ultra-liberalism while others focus on social protection. Adherence to democratic values also varies among these parties
