Important new report.
This also holds for immigration, which is why a strategy to fight only far-right PARTIES, rather than more broadly far-right POLICIES (irrespective of who advances them), is addressing only part of the problem.

The main finding is that the increased far right presence in the EP is starting to impact policy. But it's happening primarily through influencing the mainstream, that is, the EPP. For more, read the paper here: www.cer.eu/insights/far...
The far right’s impact on the EU’s climate agenda
The far right is stronger than ever in the European Parliament. And climate policy has become a testing ground for its influence.

Good morning with good news: India meets 50% renewables & nuclear capacity target 5 years early!
As clean capacity deploys, clean electricity production surges.
Solar grew from 5 TWh in 2014 to 48 TWh in 2019 & 137 TWh in 2024.
Hydro was 157 TWh; wind 82 TWh; nuclear 55 TWh in 2024. #energysky

not-even-wrong centrism: populism as a rebellion against "cognitive load" imposed by technocrats "cautious centrist politician such as Keir Starmer or Kamala Harris can seem verbally constipated: they may be telling the truth, but they give the strong impression of not saying what they really think"
Is there a way to encourage voters to calm down, slow down and think twice, in an information environment that pushes us all to hurry up and feel? on.ft.com/4nUXTeI
Why populism became popular
It appeals more to a way of thinking than to a set of ideas — but is it just wrong?
