Far-Right Parties Gaining Ground Across Europe | JQJO

Rising far-right populism in Europe is causing concern. In Germany, the AfD, now the largest opposition party, is gaining ground despite maintaining a slight poll deficit to the Christian Democrats. The AfD's success follows its best-ever election result in February. Meanwhile, in Britain, Nigel Farage's Reform UK is also performing strongly in polls. German Chancellor Merz is facing low approval ratings, focusing on foreign policy while domestic dissatisfaction grows. The next German federal election is in 2029.
