Rise of far-right and radical movements in Europe and LatAm

Overview

Political shifts toward the far-right and radical populism continue to reshape Europe and Latin America. In Europe, these movements are linked to migration, economic insecurity, and a perceived crisis in the welfare state.

In Germany, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has achieved historic gains. In France, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally remains a dominant force amid significant civil unrest; recent widespread violence, including looting, arson, and the burning of Limoges City Hall, has intensified demands for increased security. Italy has responded to similar urban disturbances with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni deploying additional military personnel to support security forces.

Electoral cycles are further complicating the landscape. In Spain, the dissolution of Parliament by Pedro Sánchez’s government may lead to a shift toward the conservative People’s Party and its potential nationalist-populist partner, Vox. Projections for the European Parliament suggest a significant shift in power, with the far-right—including the Europe of Sovereign Nations faction—expected to see the largest growth, gaining approximately 22 seats. This trend is accompanied by projected losses for traditional Social Democrats, Christian Democrats, and liberals. Experts suggest these shifts may impact EU cohesion, as national leaders may become less willing to reach compromises on sensitive issues like the Union’s budget to avoid being accused of betraying national interests.

In Latin America, reactionary movements are rising amid institutional crises in nations like Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. In Brazil, President Lula da Silva faces intense ideological battles, while Mexico sees consolidated left-wing power under President Claudia Sheinbaum.
