Far-Right E.U. Lawmakers Expel Germany's AfD Ahead of Elections
TL;DR
Far-right parties in Europe are gaining momentum ahead of the European elections in June, with leaders like Italy's Giorgia Meloni and France's Marine Le Pen aiming to expand their influence. Despite internal divisions and scandals, such as those involving Germany's AfD, these parties could secure a significant presence in the European Parliament. Meloni's European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group may even align with the center-right European People's Party, potentially shifting EU policies on issues like migration and green initiatives.
