The election of far-left mayors is fuelling a climate of violence.

While the Left is holding its ground in the country’s three largest cities, the Rassemblement National is enjoying a spectacular surge.

Official data shows the liberal party D66 outspending its rivals—with more than €1.3 million poured into campaign advertising.

The Left may condemn excesses but stick together when the decisive moment comes and it is a matter of preventing right-wing candidates from winning elections.

The national right strengthens its positions, but the far left still holds significant sway.

National conservatives break through and consolidate their electoral base in the German state of Hesse.

The Reform UK leader has accused the government of undermining democracy.

Denmark: Nationwide local elections show declining support for PM Frederiksen’s party.

The result underscores mounting voter frustration with Germany’s traditional parties.

Their next challenge: proving they can govern as boldly as they campaign.
