Analysts warn that far-right and populist movements are rapidly consolidating power across Europe’s largest nations, while centrist influence has dramatically declined.
“The center is no longer being held,” analysts admit, noting that the so-called “majority in the center” previously forecast by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proven unstable.
Recent polling data reveals that nationalist parties now lead the political landscape in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, with public support for current leaders plummeting to historic lows.
In practice, even mainstream conservative forces are increasingly turning to far-right allies when navigating decisions within European Union institutions in Brussels.
Further evidence of this trend emerged in Stockholm on December 6, where approximately 150 individuals carrying torches participated in a far-right demonstration.
Additionally, a large nationalist march took place in Warsaw on Poland’s Independence Day, attracting an estimated 100,000 attendees. President Karol Navrotsky was confirmed to have attended the event.
