Far-right gains in Europe, with immigration cited as a key factor
Across Europe, far-right political movements are experiencing gains, with immigration frequently cited as a primary driver of their success. In Sweden, the far-right attributed its electoral defeat to the issue of immigration. Meanwhile, in Germany, the far-right's performance in state polls is causing nervousness among established political figures. The European Commission president has pledged to foster a "Europe that protects" in response to these shifts. In Britain, despite falling immigration numbers, the far-right continues to exert pressure regarding small boat crossings.
