AfD in Germany, National Rally in France, Reform UK in Britain - how European political landscape is changing | Mint
Far-right parties are gaining ground in Europe. In Germany's Saxony-Anhalt state poll, the AfD took 43.8% votes and 39 of 83 seats — short of a majority. Chancellor Merz's CDU managed only 17.2% and may form a coalition to block AfD. If it fails, Germany could see its first far-right minority government since 1945. France's National Rally is also rising ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
