Almost one in four Europeans support far-Right parties, new research shows, with the figure doubling in the last decade.
The rise in far-Right support was particularly present between 2023 and 2025, according to the research.
Europe's far-Right has indeed scored some recent successes.
France's National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, gained ground in municipal elections earlier this year, while Alternative for Germany (AfD) is performing increasingly well in polls.
The populist leader of the Czech Republic, Orban ally Andrej Babis, returned as prime minister last year.
Austria's far-Right Freedom Party advanced from 16 per cent to 29 per cent in elections in 2024, while Chega in Portugal rose from 7 per cent to 18 per cent.
Far-Right populist parties are currently part of ruling coalitions in Croatia, Czechia, Italy and Finland.
They also support a Right-wing minority government in Sweden and have led in polls in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and the UK, the analysis showed.
However, these parties have also suffered defeats in some European nations.

Anything right-of center is “hard-right” to the hard-left.
You can only rain on a population for so long , before they being to realize that was not rain coming down.
I’m willing to venture a guess that it is much higher than what was reported in this article.
So if you don’t want extreme Communism, nor ‘Camp of the Saints’ flooding immigration of millions of primitive murderous invaders who hate your guts and your country, THEN you are Hard Right! Get it?
A government led by Pinochet/Franco.
Or an Islamist government.
MAGA is going around the world.
I’m amazed its only 25%.
Only 1 in 4? The beatings will continue
There is far right and far wrong.
Viva Pinochete!
How much of this is because USAID was funding the leftist cretins?
I do not think its a coincidence that South America and Europe started trending right after Trump and Rubio nuked USAID

$34 billion budget.
Soros will form a NGO and then they'll apply for an appropriation from USAID.
The next time someone tries to make an argument that we need newspapers because the internet is full of misinformation, pull this superficial BS story out. WTF does “hard right” even mean? Its a banality that lazy, stupid reporters slap on any Euro party that isn’t an establishment liberal or conservative party or isn’t so hardcore Left (like the Communists) that they can’t characterize it as hard right. You want freedom of speech? Hard right! You don’t want Third World immigrants illegally flooding your country? Hard right!! You don’t want a two-tier justice system? Hard right!! You want lower taxes and spending? Hard right!!
They’re way ahead of us - they tried socialism years ago and we’re just starting to. They’re seeing how well it works and voting accordingly.
34 billion is a lot of money. And that is only what is known on paper.
To the writer, anyone believing Europeans have many things to be proud of and want to preserve is Hard Right.
How did Pinochet compare with the Shah of Iran?
,,, the ultimate IQ test.
