Policy Voices | Far-right wont be able to call the shots in the next five years
It wasn\u2019t as bad as every poll predicted but, nonetheless, \xbc of the next European Parliament will be made up of, to put it mildly, \u201cparties that are difficult to qualify under one label\u201d. As Alberto Alemanno, Jean Monnet Professor in EU Law at HEC Paris and Founder of the Good Lobby, says, in this episode of Policy Voices hosted by Catarina Vila Nova, \u201cfar-right does not do justice to all of them\u201d. Some are \u201cnationalist\u201d, others \u201csovereigntist\u201d, and others yet are \u201crebellious vis-\xe0-vis the European process\u201d. Clearly not the ideal composition for a European Parliament. The good news? \u201cThey tend to be disunited but they\u2019re not going to be able to form a majority or come together as a group. This weakens their ability to influence as much as they could\u201d, predicts Alemanno. \n\nIf you want to comment on this episode you can send us an e-mail: press@friendsofeurope.org
