EPP increasingly collaborates with far-right parties

The European People’s Party (EPP), the largest political group in the European Parliament, is cooperating with far-right parties more often than previously understood, according to research reported by The Brussels Times.

The findings suggest this is not incidental, but part of a broader pattern in which EPP members align with far-right actors on various legislative votes and political strategies.

Critics warn that such cooperation risks blurring the line between mainstream centre-right politics and the far right. Supporters within the EPP argue, however, that these alliances are sometimes necessary to secure majorities in an increasingly fragmented parliament.

The report is likely to intensify debate about the direction of European centre-right politics ahead of the next EU elections.
