Popularity of European Right-wing Parties Increases

The European right-wing parties that are hesitant about Turkey’s E.U. membership continue to gain popularity. In Sweden, the right-wing alliance took power, replacing the decades long Social Democrats-led rule, while the extreme nationalist NDP, accused of racism and instigating violence, succeeded in gaining seats in the German parliament.

In Germany, the rise of the extreme right continues. Extreme rightist NDP, which succeeded in winning nine seats in Saxony State Parliament in 2004, also won seats in Schwerin State Parliament in the elections held on Sunday.
