What Australia can learn from the far-right surge in Europe

The European Parliament held its elections over the weekend, with provisional results showing significant victory for radical-right political parties across the continent.

As preliminary election results rolled in, French President Emmanuel Macron called a snap parliamentary election in the country later this month, following strong results for his right-wing rival party Marine Le Pen.

In this episode of The Briefing, we take a deep dive into the surge of right-wing parties and policies across Europe, what’s behind the drift to the right, and what the impact might be here in Australia.
