far right agreement
With this discontent, figures who presented themselves as “outside the system” began to gain popularity and the trust of voters, and some of them came to power.
In an attempt to push this movement, the European far right met on May 19 in Madrid, Spain, and signed a ten-point agreement to serve as an electoral platform in Europe, with controversial points on immigration, sovereignty, defending Christians, climate denial and agricultural protectionism.
But the political situation can change at any time. A recent example occurred in France: ahead of the second round of elections, more than 200 candidates withdrew their candidacies for the legislature. The aim was to prevent the far right from obtaining an absolute majority, and thus elect the far right candidate Jordan Bardella as prime minister.
Reflections on Brazil
Political scientist Leandro Consentino sees the rise of the conservatives in France, along with the possible return of the party Donald Trump To the White House in the United States of America, may reflect on the political climate in Brazil.
“This movement is reinforcing the discourse across this political spectrum around the world, and is undoubtedly helping to reinforce the discourse here in Brazil for a potential return of the far right in the 2026 national elections,” he explained.
“In the case of Brazil, specifically, I believe the rise of the far right could strengthen parties on the same political spectrum and exhaust the current government in its potential bid for re-election in 2026,” Leandro concluded.
