Far-right forces achieved significant victories in the recent European Parliament elections, with parties like National Rally in France, Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Germany, and Brothers of Italy in Italy gaining ground. However, despite this, the center-right European People's Party remains the largest party in the Parliament, strengthening the likelihood of the re-election of European Commission President Von der Leyen, known for her tough stance on EU-China relations. The election also saw the continuity of outspoken critics of China like Glucksmann and Lexmann being re-elected, signaling a potential shift towards a more trade-focused approach in EU-China relations influenced by the rise of right-wing forces.
