Madrid hosts large march urging Pedro Sánchez to resign

Tens of thousands of people marched through Madrid in a largely peaceful protest organized by the Spanish Civil Society association, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez amid corruption scandals; at least seven police officers were injured in clashes, a small group tried to breach barriers around the Moncloa residence, and three people were arrested; organizers said 80,000 participated, a government figure put the count at about 40,000, while leaders from the opposition PP and far-right Vox attended.

Arrests mark Tommy Robinson rally as London sees heavy policing

Thousands joined Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom rally in central London, but arrests were made as police deployed about 4,000 officers, drones and live facial-recognition cameras; banners carried anti-immigrant, Islamophobic and antisemitic messages, with flags including Israeli and Iranian monarchist symbols. Robinson urged supporters to engage in politics, while Amnesty International condemned the gathering as promoting racism and fear. Ahead of the rally, 11 foreign far-right agitators were barred from entering the UK.

London's rival marches test security as police deploy thousands

London mounted a massive security operation for two rival rallies — the far-right Unite the Kingdom march led by Tommy Robinson and a Nakba Day pro-Palestinian protest — deploying around 4,000 officers with horses, dogs, drones and helicopters; authorities warned of a zero-tolerance approach to hate speech, cautioned about potential clashes ahead of the FA Cup Final, and by mid-afternoon 31 people had been arrested.

London hosts massive right-wing march led by Tommy Robinson, stirring debate on British identity

Tens of thousands gathered in central London for the 'Unite the Kingdom' march organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, with police estimating about 60,000 attendees — one of the largest recent right-wing demonstrations in Britain. The crowd waved flags and Christian imagery, chanted against Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and heard Robinson urge political engagement while praising Elon Musk. The protest ran alongside a pro-Palestinian Nakba Day march, prompting a major policing operation and around 31 arrests across both events, costing roughly £4.5 million. Starmer condemned the rally as peddling hatred and division amid broader debates over national identity, public services, and antisemitism in the UK.

Romania’s government toppled as cross-party pact with far-right shatters coalition

Romania’s centrist government led by Ilie Bolojan collapsed after a no-confidence vote, driven by a rare alliance between the far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians and the Social Democratic Party, destabilizing a NATO member on Europe’s eastern edge as inflation and a large budget deficit loom and Brussels warns of potential EU funding impacts; President Nicușor Dan will broker a new coalition, with a technocratic option possible to restore stability.

Romania’s pro-EU government toppled as coalition talks begin

Romania’s minority government led by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan was ousted by a May 5 no-confidence vote, with 281 of 465 lawmakers backing the motion, which was driven by the PSD and the nationalist AUR. Bolojan’s cabinet will stay on in an interim role while President Nicusor Dan brokers a new pro-EU majority, potentially via negotiations among the four former coalition parties or a technocratic prime minister. Snap elections are unlikely, given constitutional constraints and a political desire to avoid boosting the far right. The shake-up comes as Bucharest presses reforms to unlock about €11 billion in EU funds and continues to balanceUkraine-related policy amid domestic Euroscepticism.

Romania’s coalition teeters as far-right surge puts EU funds and NATO ties at risk

Romania faces a fresh political crisis as the PSD withdraws from PM Ilie Bolojan’s coalition and backs a no-confidence motion alongside George Simion’s far-right AUR. A May 5 vote could topple the government, potentially yielding a technocratic or minority administration, while the country’s about €11 billion in EU funding and its role in NATO-Ukraine security hinge on a swift, stable resolution that markets fear could trigger a downgrade and wider instability.

Barcelona Summit Pushes Global Leftward Revival Against Rising Right

Thousands from over 40 countries gathered in Barcelona for the Global Progressive Mobilisation led by Spain’s Pedro Sánchez to brainstorm how to halt the rise of authoritarianism and win back votes drifting rightward. The event, highlighted by remarks from Lula da Silva and Cyril Ramaphosa, urged reforms of global institutions (including the UN Security Council) and stronger left-leaning coalitions, while stressing domestic concerns like cost of living and unemployment as key political battlegrounds. Economists and policymakers pressed ideas such as wealth taxes and reform of multilateral rules as part of a broader strategy to defend democracy and counter the right across nations.

Paris’s new mayor pledges frugality, greens, and a stand against the far right

Paris elected Emmanuel Grégoire, a left-wing successor to continue expanding bike lanes, curb car use, and push environmental policies while promising frugal governance and a sweeping reform of school-monitor oversight amid abuse scandals. He aims to shield the city from “Trumpian” politics, confront homelessness and housing shortages, tackle Airbnb, and position Paris as a bulwark against the far right ahead of the 2027 presidential race.
