European Parliament Elections Signal Rightward Shift

Recent results show increased support for right-wing parties, challenging traditional left and center dominance.

The European People's Party retained a majority but saw significant gains by right-wing groups.
Immigration and cost of living issues were key factors driving voter sentiment.
France, Germany, and Italy experienced notable right-wing victories in their national contexts.
Analysts debate the extent and implications of this shift, with some downplaying a 'far-right surge.'
Upcoming elections, including a snap election in France, will further test this trend.
