Cooperation between the right and the far right is advancing in Europe

In October last year, an executive made up of conservative parties took office in Sweden with the external support of an anti-globalist nationalist far-right party. In Italy, another patriotic government of the conservative right led by Giorgia Meloni was elected with conservatives sitting in the executive. In June, a coalition government was also formed in Finland that includes what liberal media calls ‘extreme right-wingers’ in ministerial posts. Polls point to a coalition of the popular right and far right as a likely coalition in the next Spanish government, and it is already a reality in several of the country’s autonomous regions. The leader of the Spanish Popular Party said in an interview with the newspaper El Mundo that ‘it would be good for the EU if Meloni ended up in the EPP’ (European People’s Party).
