Editorial: Le Monde

• The European far-right is not waiting for elections to score new victories.
• The recently adopted migration pact already shows the far-right's influence in the Union's immigration policy.
• Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom have reached a coalition agreement after surprisingly winning the general elections of November 2023 in the Netherlands.
• Wilders' concession was not to take the post of prime minister.
• The coalition has implemented a radical program on immigration and asylum.
• The center-right has suffered an ideological defeat by conceding to the far-right on issues of immigration.
• Pressure led the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to suggest an alliance with Italian far-right leader Giorgia Meloni.
• The coalition agreement in the Netherlands is seen as an alarm for advocates of the European project.

Conclusion: There is a growing influence of the far-right in European politics, especially regarding immigration and asylum.
