reut.rs/3TVYVLI
Quick Glance: Tensions between Meloni and Le Pen jeopardize far-right in the EU
- Comparison of Italy's nationalist Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni with French far-right leader Marine Le Pen leads to conflicts that could hinder the far right's aspirations for power in the EU.
- Surveys predict significant gains for the far right in the upcoming European elections in June, but a merger of EU far-right groups is unlikely due to Meloni's collaboration strategy within the EU potentially reducing her influence.
- The lack of unity in political platforms weakens the far right's influence on issues such as trade relations with China, Europe's response to the war in Ukraine, climate policy, and immigration.
- Internal tensions and Meloni's efforts to keep Le Pen at bay impede the rising influence of the far right in Europe and could have significant implications for the EU's political landscape.
The foreseeable victory in the European elections could be their first step towards seizing power. Listen to selected and moving articles as a podcast with NZZ ... Show more podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/nzz-audio/id1692536576 www.nzz.ch/audio/nzz-audio-wochenausgabe-vom-28-maerz-2024-ld.1824122
