Europe is experiencing a rightwards shift in politics, with the far right gaining prominence in several countries. The liberal dream of open borders is fading as the new pro-EU government in Poland aims to undo eight years of nationalist rule. Former European Council President Donald Tusk is expected to become the prime minister of Poland, signaling a return to the political mainstream for the country. The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) chief Pierre Gramegna has announced that the Italian Parliament will discuss ratification of the EU's bailout fund. The far right's influence is evident in countries like France, Austria, Finland, and Germany, challenging the accuracy of the 'far right' label. The political situation in Europe is closely watched, particularly with Poland's transition to a pro-EU government and the potential appointment of Donald Tusk as prime minister.
