The leader of the far-right PVV party Geert Wilders won the legislative elections in the Netherlands on Wednesday November 22. The far-right populist camp is making progress in Europe, with Italy, Hungary and Slovakia. It also scores points in the Northern countries.
Geert Wilders is the new strongman of the Netherlands. His far-right party, the PVV, won the legislative elections in the country on Wednesday November 22. With Giorgia Meloni in Italy, Viktor Orban in Hungary and Robert Fico in Slovakia, the far right is gaining ground in Europe. The Netherlands could join these countries where the extreme right is already in power and displays its ideas without restraint.
Poland, the only country where a turnaround took place
In Finland, Latvia and even Sweden, populists are members of a government coalition or support it. In Germany, in the latest polls, the far-right party AfD is the second party with 21% voting intentions. In France, an Ipsos survey places the National Rally in the lead for the European elections, with 29%. In all these countries, the far right has established itself permanently in the political landscape.The only turnaround in Europe, Poland. In the country, after eight years in power, the right ultraconservative was defeated by the centrist opposition. But the populist party remains very powerful in Poland. The European elections in June 2024 will make it possible to assess the real extent of the rise of the far right in Europe.
