Far-right candidates bidding to become vice-president of the European Parliament were voted down on Tuesday as part of centrist parties’ coordinated efforts to build a firewall against the radical right-wing. While the hard-right European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni did manage to secure two vice-presidents - one more than in the previous mandate - the two newly-formed radical right-wing groupings were blocked. It means neither Patriots for Europe, led by the French National Rally's Jordan Bardella, or the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) o...

Centrist forces are in talks to block the two newly-formed far-right groupings from being appointed to high-profile positions in the European Parliament, a spokesperson for the European People's Party (EPP) confirmed on Friday. It means Patriots of Europe - which harbours the likes of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz and Marine Le Pen's National Rally (RN) - as well as Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) - which includes radical right-wing parties such as Alternative for Germany (AfD) - will likely be excluded from power roles in the parliament over the next five-year mandate. "We ...

The European elections in June swept many of us in civil society through a whirlwind, cementing the continuous progression of the far-right within our democratic institutions. With over twenty years of experience advocating for a free, fair, and open digital environment in Europe, one thing is clear to us — a shift to the right poses a grave threat to our fundamental rights. Looking ahead to the next mandate of EU institutions, we anticipate a rise in the market dominance of large tech corporations and the implementation of draconian state surveillance practices. Much discussion surrounding th...

French criminal prosecutors have launched a preliminary inquiry into alleged illegality in the financing of Marine Le Pen's 2022 presidential campaign, the Paris prosecutor's office said on Tuesday. The judicial probe, which began last week, will investigate allegations of accepting a financial loan, misappropriation of property, fraud, and forgery. The investigation was opened after the National Commission for Campaign Accounts and Political Financing submitted a review of Le Pen's campaign financing and alerted the authorities about its findings, domestic media reported. Le Pen invested arou...

Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, said no party in France emerged victorious in the just-concluded legislative elections, in which the far-right National Rally (RN) was beaten into third by a leftist coalition and President Emmanuel Macron's centrist bloc. The Italian leader's comments were part of reactions pouring from across Europe over the legislative election results, which saw Marine Le Pen's RN dramatically halted in what was thought could be a rise to power. Speaking in Washington on Monday, where she is attending the NATO summit, Meloni said that interpreting the results as a de...

Radio Schuman asked Paolo Borchia, the head of delegation from Italy's Lega party.

The newly formed far-right alliance, launched just last week, has succeeded the previous far-right group in the European Parliament, Identity and Democracy (ID), which has now disbanded. The Patriots have swiftly expanded with many parties announcing last week that they would join theproject, culminating this morning in significant additions with France’s Rassemblement National (RN) and Italy’s Lega—two key former ID parties that were yet to join the group. While Lega was dominant within ID in the previous mandate, the largest delegation within the Patriots will be Marine Le Pen’s RN, with thi...

What do fake news on Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska's multimillion-euro sports car purchase and made-up offers of money to vote for President Emmanuel Macron in the French snap elections have in common? They were all cooked up by the Kremlin in what is an ongoing all-out assault on French public opinion, researchers claim. Scores of freshly registered websites, some made to look like mainstream outlets, have been publishing everything from deepfakes — near-seamless videos created using the latest technology to convince the viewer of the most outlandish claims — to generative AI writing im...

A month after the EU elections, the new far-right Patriot's group is the only one remaining to be constituted. The emergence of the new far-right alliance "Patriots for Europe," founded by Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz and former Czech premier Andrej Babis's ANO, reshuffled the cards in the far-right pack. Heralded from a Viennese hotel last weekend with the clear intention of becoming the largest right-wing group in the European Parliament, the alliance began drawing parties from the orbit of the Identity and Democracy (ID) group, such as founder party the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) and later last ...

The exit poll of the second round of parliamentary elections in France on Sunday indicated a surprising win for the left-wing alliance and a neck-and-neck race for second place between the governing liberal alliance and the once-favoured hard-right National Rally (RN), causing widespread relief in Germany. Prominent members of the Greens, part of the ruling coalition in the neighbouring country, were among the first to react on social media platforms. The party's first political secretary, Emily Büning, posted on X: "Vive la France! Great joy!" "After the UK, the people in France are now also ...
