Europe’s Shift To The Right

Europe is witnessing the beginning of being reshaped in stand and orientation that is going by the recent trends as seen in the European Union Parliament election in June. France, Germany, Italy and Austria are among the 27 member countries witnessing a rise of the right on the planks of “a threat to Western civilisation”. On the eve of the polls, the far-right was expected to make inroads into the traditionally dominant forces of opposing political persuasions. The premise did not go off the mark in what also became a humiliating setback for French President Emmanuel Macron, who reacted with a hasty decision to go for snap poll. His Renaissance party was trounced by Marion Le Pen’s National Rally.
