This phenomenon was starkly evident with Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 US presidential election, and was reinforced by his return to power in 2024 and his adoption of a far-right agenda. Election results in several European countries have also revealed a shift in popular sentiment that is strengthening the presence of far-right movements in the political landscape, a warning that the far-right agenda is creeping into the heart of political life in major Western countries. This is creating a new political reality that transcends national frameworks and has far-reaching global repercussions.<br/></p>
