How a far-right alliance could break up the European Union
This growing far-right power in Europe risks further blunting the EU’s edge when it comes to dealing with issues such as human rights abuses and the rule of law. The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights presented a report this week which concluded that Hungary’s immigration policy was causing widespread human rights violations. The European Parliament has already voted for proceedings against Hungary for attempting to silence media and removing independent judges, which could lead to sanctions.

The bad news, however, is that far-right and radical-right parties are finding ways to work together and halt democracy within the European Parliament. If their people still want to remain members of the EU, these parties will work from the inside to come to the same end. They are facing an uphill battle, but we shouldn’t underestimate their resolve.

As with everything far right - they play dirty and have no respect for our institutions.... there be less of them than us currently but their impact can be disproportionate to their numbers.
