Far Right

The term "Far Right," as used in these articles, refers to political groups and coalitions on the extreme right of the political spectrum. They are newsworthy due to their increasing influence in France and at the European level, particularly concerning environmental and health policies. Recent developments include the weakening of sanitary and environmental standards in Brussels and Paris through coalitions between right-wing and far-right parties. Furthermore, the articles highlight their continued progression in local elections, specifically the 2026 municipal elections, where they are gaining ground even as the left maintains control in major cities. This gradual advancement is seen as significant in the lead-up to the 2027 national elections, indicating a potentially shifting political landscape and a growing impact on policy decisions related to public health and environmental protection.
