European Parliament Elections Signal Major Shift Towards Far-Right
Voters in 27 EU nations head to the polls amid rising support for populist and nationalist parties, reshaping the political landscape.
- Nearly 370 million eligible voters will elect 720 members of the European Parliament over four days.
- Far-right parties are expected to make significant gains, potentially forming the largest bloc in several countries.
- Economic concerns, migration, and dissatisfaction with traditional parties are driving voter behavior.
- The European Parliament's limited legislative power means immediate policy changes are unlikely, but mainstream parties could face pressure to adapt.
- Russian influence and propaganda have been cited as factors in the far-right's rise across Europe.
