“Far-right gains in EU election deal stunning defeats to France’s Macron and Germany’s Scholz”

EU parliamentary elections took place yesterday, with some significant wins by “far-right” parties — sufficiently significant in France to drive President Macron to dissolve the parliament and call a snap national election.  (Counterpart: in Hungary, Prime Minister Orbán’s party earned a plurality of EU parliament seats, but actually slipped from its prior level of support.)

Meanwhile, Mexican elections show the country heading in the opposite direction.
