"You don't have to agree with anything that Bardella's proposing in terms of policy to recognise that he has a real political talent. He's a very good retail politician,” @sophiepedder.bsky.social told @cergrant.bsky.social in the latest #CERpodcast.

The #farright influences the agenda in 17 countries, or more than half of the EU. Moderate & conservative parties have started moving further right, changing positions on issues such as migration, civil society & climate.

Neither the US turn toward protectionism and away from WTO rules nor China’s aggressive behaviour are new developments. The EU had a foretaste of Trumpian #trade policy in his first term. 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

The far right in the EP is a threat to the future of the climate agenda. But the bigger issue, in terms of weakening existing laws & diluting future climate targets, may be the mainstream moving further to the right.

More than a year in, the #farright has had a negative impact on the green agenda and #climate policy in the new European Parliament.

A more independent Europe can only come about with reduced dependency on the two economic superpowers, and derisking from politicised #trade relations
with both. 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

To the extent that China poses a threat to key European interests through unfair competition and economic coercion, it would be far easier to confront China in co-ordination with the US than alone. 🇪🇺 🇺🇸 🇨🇳

The #farright has often voted with the majority on #climate. This, however, does not mean that it voted in favour of climate-friendly policies – rather the opposite.

But it too would benefit from deeper capital and services markets, especially with the US and China becoming less attractive export destinations.

The far right now holds more than a quarter of the seats in the European Parliament. And its influence may be reshaping climate policies – and voting in the EP.
