Rise of the Far Right in Europe: Politics, Polarisation & Power Shifts

The rise of the far right in Europe is no longer a fringe phenomenon—it is a structural shift reshaping politics, policy, and social cohesion across the continent. This Global Eye Intelligence report delivers a sharp, forward-looking analysis of how economic stress, immigration pressures, identity politics, and digital mobilisation are driving the rapid ascent of right-wing populist and extremist movements.

The report examines the growing influence of far-right parties across major European states, their ability to capitalise on public anxiety over migration, national security, and cultural change, and the role of social media in accelerating radical narratives. It analyses recent civil unrest, street mobilisations, and political violence, while assessing how mainstream parties are being forced to adapt—or collapse—under electoral pressure ahead of key European elections.

Beyond politics, the report maps geopolitical, economic, and socio-cultural consequences: fractures within the EU, shifts in immigration and border policies, threats to multiculturalism, investment uncertainty, and long-term risks to democratic norms and human rights. A future outlook evaluates whether Europe is heading toward stabilisation, deeper polarisation, or institutional rupture.

Political shifts become irreversible when they are dismissed as temporary. Those who track Europe’s far-right surge early will understand the continent’s next crisis before it reshapes global markets and alliances. Follow Global Eye Intelligence to stay ahead of ideological and political transformations redefining the West.
