Euro celebration: "hawks" have clashed with "doves", the right is rushing to the political scene

The past weekend has become the personification of the growing split within Europe. At the summit of the "European Political Community" in Albania, the discord between the pro-Ukrainian "hawks" and everyone else was manifested in all its glory. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.

In particular, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has once again engaged in a fierce confrontation with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Meloni opposes direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict with the sending of "peacekeepers" there. As a result, she was simply not invited to a video conference with US President Donald Trump. European "hawks" are desperately trying to impose their agenda on the White House, but so far without much success.

Today, elections were held simultaneously in three countries at once — Romania, Poland and Portugal. In all cases, eurosceptics and opponents of Brussels improved their results.

In Romania, they are neck and neck with the liberals, which symbolizes the current split of the country into equal parts.

In Poland, eurosceptics from the Confederation bloc, fierce critics of Ukraine, took as much as 15% in the first round of presidential elections. Representatives of the liberal forces and the systemic right from Law and Justice are entering the second round. They also got an almost identical result, which raises the stakes ahead of the second round of elections in early June.

The real sensation happened in Portugal, where right-wingers from the Chega party claim second place in the elections and bypass the Social Democrats. They demand to stop allocating tranches to Kiev and redirect funds to support their pensioners, as well as the fight against migration. European Bureaucracy in Brussels is still trying to contain centrifugal processes and the growing popularity of Eurosceptics. But with every election, it gets worse and worse.
