Scholz arrived in Romania&#8217;s capital Bucharest for a conference of the Party of European Socialists, part of the Socialists and Democrats group, the second biggest in the Parliament. Voters in the 27 EU member states go to the polls 6-9. \u201cRight-wing populists are running election campaigns against our united Europe,\u201d the German leader said at the Palace of the Parliament, which hosted the conference. \u201cThey are ready to destroy what we have built for the kids; they stir up sentiment against refugees and minorities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Opinion polls indicate a significant shift to the right in the upcoming election, with the radical right Identity and Democracy group likely to gain enough seats to become the third largest group in the legislature, mainly at the expense of the Greens and the centrist Renew Europe group. Scholz said a prosperous EU capable of \u201cgetting things done\u201d is \u201cthe best response to populism and autocrats.\u201d He also pledged continued support for Ukraine, saying it\u2019s \u201ckey to restoring peace in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scholz leads an unpopular three-party coalition. Recent national polls have shown his centre-left party far behind Germany\u2019s main centre-right opposition bloc and at best roughly level with the far-right Alternative for Germany party. The Socialists and Democrats President Iratxe Garc\u00eda P\u00e9rez also addressed the issue of rising populism in the June elections, saying those parties \u201conly pose a threat to our European project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meeting comes after the EU\u2019s largest political party, the centre-right European People\u2019s Party, also met in Bucharest last month, where representatives endorsed Ursula von der Leyen\u2019s bid for a second five-year term leading the bloc\u2019s powerful Commission. Jobs and Social Rights Commissioner Nicolas Schmit from Luxembourg, was chosen as the Socialists and Democrats lead candidate for Brussels\u2019 top job. The next Commission chief will require approval from leaders of all EU\u2019s member states. Almost half of the EU\u2019s 27 national leaders are members of the European People\u2019s Party.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/04\/07\/scholz-warns-of-the-rise-of-right-wing-populists-ahead-of-eu-elections\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/scholz-warns-of-the-rise-of-right-wing-populists-ahead-of-eu-elections\/\">Scholz warns of the rise of right-wing populists ahead of EU elections<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,14062,2481,8844],"class_list":["post-129484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-right-wing-populists","tag-scholz","tag-warn"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129484\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
