Seznam Zprávy | People experience multi-crisis, success of the far right could be greater
Despite the rise in support for the far right in most countries, the direction of the EU will not fundamentally change.

The victory of the extreme right in the elections signals the strengthening of conservative and populist parties. However, it is expected that key issues such as the environment and migration will remain on the agenda. The election result does not signify a radical change but serves as a signal to focus on voters favoring conservative and far-right parties.
