The article from To Vima explores the landscape of far-right politics in Europe, highlighting recent observations made by The Economist regarding the strengthening influence of far-right parties across major European nations. In the UK, Nigel Farage's Reform party is leading in the polls ahead of both the ruling Labour and opposition Conservative parties. Likewise, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally is also polling strongly in France, while the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has risen to a position equal to that of the governing Christian Democrats. Italy's Giorgia Meloni has maintained a significant lead in the polls since becoming Prime Minister four years ago.

In contrast, the article notes that Greece presents a different scenario where the far-right is certainly visible and strong in some instances but remains fragmented and marginal. The far-right has failed to consolidate its strength into a significant political force in the country. This fragmentation contrasts with the unified front seen in other European countries, limiting their ability to forge a cohesive path towards greater political power. The disjointed nature of far-right parties in Greece prevents them from making the same electoral gains that their counterparts have experienced in other regions.

This divergence has broader implications for political discourse in Greece and could reflect deeper societal attitudes towards nationalism and populism. The article suggests a need for analysis on why the far right remains marginalized in Greece, exploring factors such as historical context, political culture, and public perception compared to other European countries, where the far-right is on the rise and positions itself closer to potential governing power.
