Spain's far-right Vox party, which currently has six MEPs, has officially announced that it's leaving the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group to join a potential new formation led by Orban's Fidesz party. Orban's alliance already includes the Czech ANO, the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) and the Portuguese Chega - but there are rules for becoming a political group in the European Parliament, and the Patriots for Europe have yet to meet another criterion. While they meet the threshold of at least 23 MEPs, they do not emanate from at least seven member states - Orban still needs two ...

Five Star Movement, Italy's populist party led by former prime minister Giuseppe Conte, has ended its year-long lack of political affiliation on the European stage by joining The Left, the most left-wing formation in the European Parliament. The Left encompasses members like France Unbowed (LFI), Germany's Die Linke, Spain's Podemos, Greece's Syriza and Ireland's Sinn Féin, all of whom embrace various degrees of Eurosceptism. In the June elections, the pan-European family secured 39 seats in the hemicycle, two more than it previously had. With the eight MEPs from the Five Star Movement, also k...

European far-right parties have used artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images to support political messaging, two new reports have found, but it is difficult to assess how those images may have impacted the recent French and European elections. Non-profit organisation AI Forensics went through the social media pages of 31 French political parties to determine whether they could spot generative AI (genAI) content from May 1 to June 28, during the EU elections and the first round of France’s legislative campaign. They then put those images through AI-related search engines to verify that an...

Governments in Member States that have radical right-wing and Eurosceptic political forces within them will be able to choose one of two paths to exert their influence on the future of the European Union, according to Dave Sinardet, political scientist at the Free University of Brussels, interviewed by Euronews . "On the one hand, they could hollow out European politics from within. On the other hand, these far-right leaders may begin to understand that they also need the European Union to be able to fulfil a series of promises they made to their national electorate , especially in terms of se...

An anonymous survey conducted by the MeTooEP campaign group in 2023 found that almost half of respondents - more than 550 parliament staff - said they had been subjected to psychological harassment at work - and around one in six people (15.5%) claimed to have been sexually harassed. The figures sit at odds with official findings at the institution, where only three MEPs in a chamber of 705 deputies were found guilty of harassing staff in the past five years: Luxembourg liberal Monica Semedo (sanctioned for a second time in 2023); Spanish socialist Mónica Silvana, and Spanish liberal José Ramó...

Chega, the Portuguese far-right party, has joined "Patriots for Europe," the new nationalist alliance launched by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. "Chega's president announced their intent to be part of this sovereignist coalition," Orbán's spokesperson said on Monday, announcing the news. Prior to the confirmation, Chega's André Ventura had described the foundation of the movement as a "historic opportunity" to build a political "alternative" and unite the right. "This group is clearly against Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa," Ventura said, referring to Orbán's negative vote duri...

Emmanuel Macron's call for snap elections following his party's defeat in the European elections has generated a wave of interest in Spanish politics. Spain's politicians have their eyes trained on the high-stakes vote, looking for parallels with their own tense political situation. The fear of a far-right government in one of the EU's key countries is palpable, with concerns about its implications for European stability. Borja Bergareche, partner of Communication and Leadership at Harmon, is critical of Macron's decision to take the risk of calling the election in the first place. "If the int...

European citizens went to the polls on 6-9 June to decide on the composition of the European Parliament. Now, it's the turn of their leaders to decide who will head the major Brussels institutions for the next five years and what policies they'll follow. This week's EU summit agenda includes military support for Ukraine, the vision for the next five-year mandate, the Middle East, migration, defence and security, and the EU's own top jobs. After taking the post-election temperature at an informal gathering last week, Europe's 27 leaders are now expected to agree on a pre-cooked package of names...

The head of the powerful centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) has called for Italy’s inclusion in EU decision-making. The news comes as EU leaders converge on Brussels for a top jobs summit which Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni has slammed as "undemocratic". "Italy is the third largest country in Europe, a member of the G7, one of the largest European economies. That is why it is necessary to find a way to include the Italian position in the European decision-making process,” Manfred Weber told Italian daily Corriere della Sera in an interview today (27 June). Earlier this week the...
