The extreme right manages to dye Europe with the best result in its history. Of the 720 seats in the European Parliament, 179 seats correspond to far-right parties. In some countries they have achieved more than 30% of the votes. A wave that has caused more than one earthquake: in three weeks in France there will be elections to elect the formation of the Assembly.

This Monday morning, the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, was the focus of all eyes. Macron attended a tribute to the victims of Nazism with his German counterpart, but did not make any reference to the anticipation of elections after the electoral setback in the European elections. On Sunday night, after learning the results, Macron announced that he was dissolving the National Assembly and brought forward the legislative elections.

Thus, it is entrusted to an act of confidence on the part of the voters, who last night awarded a landslide victory to the far-right Marine Le Pen. Although it remains to be seen if there is an agreement with the other far-right party for these elections. Her niece, a candidate for that party, has opened the door by stating that “the right-wing coalition to which I aspire seems more necessary than ever.”

The hundreds of people who demonstrated last night against an extreme right that, if it repeats its success in the legislative elections, would force Macron into an uncomfortable cohabitation, do not believe it.

In Germany, the Social Democrats obtain their worst result in history

In GermanyChancellor Olaf Scholz has refused to call elections after the worst result in history of the social democrats. They are third behind the far-right Alternative for Germany. Tino Chrupalla, leader of AFD, confirmed that “it is a historic result for us in these European elections.”

In Belgiumwhere they also voted in national elections, the prime minister has resigned after his party suffered a real disaster at the expense of the victory of the Flemish nationalists, who share a group with Vox in Brussels, followed by the far right.

Meloni catapults to first position

The “Brothers of Italy” of Meloni represent the second big win of the extreme right in Europe. With almost 29% of the votes, they have catapulted themselves to first position. At the cost, of course, of the great setback of Mateo Salvini’s League. It goes from 34 to 9% of the votes.
