It's concerning that far-right Eurosceptic parties have polled well in the EU elections because now — and for the next five years — they are likely to put pressure on centrist parties inon key issues such as immigration, climate change, and defense. Hopefully, internal disputes between them will prevail and prevent a bigger impact on these policies.

Right-wing parties have grown popular in these EU elections precisely because Europeans are tired of mass immigration and the globalist agenda, including the green ideology. It's no coincidence that Macron was humiliated in France while Germany's center-right Christian Democrats came top after toughening the line on immigration — with the AfD second.
