Following the recent EU elections, the European People’s Party (EVP) has shifted its focus towards right-wing alliances, with potential implications for the future of EU governance. Ursula von der Leyen’s commission was elected with a historically slim majority, largely due to the inclusion of far-right member Raffaele Fitto. This change marks a pivotal moment, with the EVP increasingly collaborating with right-wing parties on key issues, raising concerns about the legitimacy and normalization of far-right perspectives within the Parliament. The dynamics leading into 2025 will determine the future balance of power in EU politics.
