Extreme right parties across the EU are expected to make significant gains in the upcoming elections. Polls suggest that the Identity and Democracy group may become the third largest force in the European Parliament, followed by the European Conservatives and Reformists. This session will examine current trends at both national and European levels, analyze changes in the strategies of far-right parties, explore their drivers, and consider the implications of their gains for the next political cycle.
