EU: Right-Wing Populists on the Rise

From Hungary to Italy, from France to Poland, from Germany to Sweden, right-wing populist movements are gaining ground. Nationalistic and racist tendencies are rising. In times of corruption, economic slowdown and refugee crisis, the European Union is under great pressure like never before.
