Europe's dilemma after Germany's far right achieves unprecedented state victory since World War II

BBC News Brasil7 September 2026 at 10:19

Germany's far right, through the Alternative for Germany party (AfD), achieved an unprecedented state victory since World War II, creating a major dilemma for Europe. The result represents a historic milestone in German politics and reignited debates about the advance of far-right forces on the continent.

The next 12 months will be marked by an intense electoral season across the European Union. Votes are scheduled in countries considered fundamental to the bloc, including France, Italy, Spain, and Poland. This period will be decisive in defining the political future of the region.

Authorities in Brussels have expressed concern about the possibility that more extremist parties will politically benefit from the result achieved by the AfD in Germany. This trend worries European institutions, which fear a favorable cascade effect for far-right currents in other countries in the bloc.

The general context points to a moment of significant transformation in European politics, with the simultaneous advance of the far right in several countries. This dynamic puts the cohesion of European Union institutions to the test, as well as the ability of traditional parties to respond to this phenomenon.
