FRANCE 24 speaks to Sven Biscop, director of the Europe in the World Programme at the Egmont Institute, and the author of "This is Not a New World Order", about the upcoming European elections. We delve into how issues like the war in Ukraine, competition with China and the green transition are shaping the vote. Concerning the rise of the far right in Europe, he says their policies are "counterintuitive", noting that they are both "extremely nationalistic" yet "allow themselves to be instrumentalised as agents of hostile powers such as Russia".
