• Ultrnationalist and Eurosceptic parties made significant gains in the European elections, becoming the most voted force in France, Italy, Austria, and Hungary, and the second in Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands.
• This poses a threat to the model of peace, prosperity, and freedom Europeans have enjoyed for decades.
• Progressive parties have generally failed to provide effective responses for the common good in the most recent crises, such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
• The composition of the new European Parliament suggests a high risk for the EU with increasing representation of far-right forces.
• Eurosceptic and nationalist parties now have more chances to influence the direction of Brussels.
• The potential need for green support to form a quartet, excluding the far right.
• In Spain, the People's Party won the elections but did not achieve a result up to its expectations.
• The far right continues to grow in Spain, being absorbed by the Popular Party and Vox.

Conclusion: Spanish and European politics face a growing threat from the far right and Eurosceptic parties, jeopardizing the current model of the EU.
