For the first time in its history, we could be looking at a genuinely rightwing European Union

In an op-ed published in The Guardian, law professor at HEC Paris Business School Alberto Alemanno warns of the unprecedented rightward shift in the European Union, with a Parliament dominated by conservative and far-right forces. According to him, Ursula von der Leyen may rely on these alliances to govern, potentially at the expense of priorities like the Green Deal. This shift threatens to end the EU's historic centrist balance.
