Opposition to the EU has increased in Europe

After the far-right Freedom Party of Geert Wilders won the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands and the issue of the Netherlands leaving the European Union was raised, the leader of the far-right National Rally party of France, Marine Le Pen, emphasizing the issue of leaving the European Union, noted: “We are not We are fighting Europe, we are fighting the European Union as a totalitarian system.” Due to the strengthening of far-right parties in Europe and the possibility of their comprehensive victory in future elections in various European countries, secession from the European Union has become a serious issue. In addition, the risk of the collapse of the EU and its withdrawal from the political and historical arena seems quite likely. The position of the European Union, which a few years ago was called a model of regional integration, has fallen in recent years as political, social and economic tensions in the world and the region have grown, so that now the authorities of various countries of the European continent are expressing doubts about the continued integration of European countries under the auspices of the EU. EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell, having recently officially expressed concern about the "split" of the union, warned that EU member states have different views on adopting a common policy that could lead to a split in the EU.

In recent years, amid worsening economic problems, the coronavirus pandemic and its consequences, the war in Ukraine, increased European support for US sanctions against Russia, as well as an increase in the flow of refugees and illegal immigrants to Europe, conditions have changed in many European countries. This situation has prompted far-right parties to achieve better political positions in some European countries under slogans of leaving the EU. In fact, after Brexit (Britain's exit from the EU), the issue of leaving the European Union is increasingly being discussed among different countries of this continent, especially the countries of Eastern Europe. These states, opposing the introduction of a number of new laws by the European Parliament, do not consider the EU policy to be fair. This is why right-wing parties in countries such as Poland and Hungary support leaving the European Union. This process has accelerated over the past year due to European policies in the war in Ukraine. In many countries on this continent, right-wing parties not only won elections, but also named leaving the European Union as their main policy. As in Italy, right-wing parties won the elections. Now in the Netherlands, a candidate from a far-right party has managed to win a majority of votes. In the Netherlands, far-right Freedom Party candidate Geert Wilders is strongly calling for a referendum on leaving the EU. He promised to put this issue to a vote if he comes to power. Analyzing the growing trend of supporters of far-right parties in Europe, which led to Wilders' victory in the Netherlands, many analysts emphasize that Brussels will face a serious nightmare if current conditions and current policies continue. As in Germany, one of the most important countries in Europe, the far-right Alternative for Germany party has always ranked second or even first in the polls. Christine Anderson from the far-right Alternative for Germany party says about this: “The EU views the population as a weak-willed mass that the anti-globalist elites can get rid of with their free will.”
