European elections: towards a shift to the radical right?
A study by the think tank ECFR indicates that anti-European populists are likely to lead polls in nine EU member states and be in second or third position in nine others, potentially influencing European policies significantly, especially on environmental issues and immigration. The current center-left coalition in the European Parliament may lose ground to a right-wing coalition, which could dominate with an 'anti-climate' stance. The success of anti-establishment populist parties in the 2024 elections could impact national debates and the positions that state leaders feel capable of taking post-election.

London Overground map revamped with new line names and colours
The London Overground map has been revamped with new line names and colors, a move initiated by Mayor Sadiq Khan as part of his 2021 re-election manifesto. The changes aim to simplify the network and celebrate London's cultural diversity. Critics, including Professor Jeremy Black, accuse Khan of politicizing the railways, while supporters like Andy Lord and John Bull see the changes as beneficial. The revamp, costing £6.3 million, involves updating signage and technical systems. The decision not to seek sponsorship has been criticized by the Conservatives, but TfL argues for the permanence of the new names.

Tories delete Sadiq Khan attack ad showing New York instead of London
The Conservatives retracted an online video attacking Sadiq Khan's crime record in London after it was revealed to use footage from New York. The ad, supporting Susan Hall for the London mayoralty, falsely depicted London as a crime-ridden city. Critics, including political journalist Paul Waugh, pointed out the misleading content, leading to the video's withdrawal. Data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales contradicts the ad's claims, showing lower crime rates in London compared to the national average. Khan's campaign criticized the ad as a misleading attack on London.

European elections: why von der Leyen is courting Italy’s Meloni ahead of likely reelection bid
Ursula von der Leyen is strategically aligning with Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as she prepares for a potential re-election bid as the European Commission President. Meloni, once a eurosceptic, has become a significant player in EU politics, influencing policies like migration. Von der Leyen's frequent visits to Italy and her alignment with Meloni's right-wing narrative suggest a tactical move to secure support from the European Parliament and national leaders. However, this alliance carries risks due to Meloni's dual stance on EU policies, which could impact von der Leyen's re-election strategy.

The EU Parliament's right-wing 'Venezuela coalition'
Ahead of the European Parliament election, the center-right European Peoples Party (EPP) under Manfred Weber veered right, aligning with far-right groups like Giorgia Meloni's ECR and Marine Le Pen's ID. Despite initial polls, the far-right underperformed, leading to a centrist coalition re-electing Ursula von der Leyen. However, Meloni's influence grew, with von der Leyen supporting her migrant scheme and awarding the ECR a vice-presidency. The 'Venezuela Coalition' emerged when right-wing groups united to award the Sakharov Prize to Venezuelan opposition, defeating center-left and Green nominations. This coalition signals a trend of right-wing alliances, challenging traditional centrist partnerships and potentially reshaping EU politics.

The impact of the rise of the rightists on Brussels policy towards Tehran
The recent European Parliament elections have resulted in a significant shift in the balance of power, with the European People's Party and the Conservatives and Reformists gaining influence, while the Greens and Renew Europe lost seats. This shift is expected to impact the EU's policy towards Iran, as the right-wing parties generally support resolutions against the Iranian government. However, the rise of the far-right Identity and Democracy group may weaken the overall stance against Iran, as they often abstain or do not participate in votes. The likelihood of passing resolutions against Iran has decreased slightly compared to the previous parliament.

A Far-Right Takeover of Europe Is Underway
As Europe prepares for EU Parliament elections, polls predict significant gains for right-wing populists, potentially leading to a right-majority parliament for the first time since 1979. The far-right groups, Identity and Democracy (ID) and European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), are expected to gain seats at the expense of liberals and Greens. This shift could impact EU policies on migration, climate change, and defense. The center-right European People’s Party (EPP) may align with far-right parties, further shifting the balance of power. Critics argue this could undermine the EU's commitment to democratic values and humane policies.
