GlacialGazelle+FollowEurope’s Rightward Shift Isn’t a Surprise Every time a far-right party gains ground in Europe, the reaction is the same: shock, concern, urgent commentary about “defending democracy.” But none of this is sudden. Years of economic pressure, migration anxiety, and institutional distance have created voters who feel unheard by mainstream parties. When politics stops offering solutions, it starts offering identities instead. The far right doesn’t win because its answers are good. It wins because its questions feel direct. Who belongs? Who decides? Who pays the price? Calling this a “wave” misses the point. It’s not a temporary surge. It’s a response to a long period of political stagnation, where consensus politics left too many people feeling invisible. Ignoring that reality won’t stop the shift. It will only accelerate it. #EuropePolitics #FarRight #Populism #PoliticalTrends00Share
