Organised by the S&D Group, FEPS, and the PES Group in the European Committee of the Regions, the ‘Understanding right-wing populism and what to do about it‘ event at the PES Congress seeked to dissect the rise of far-right parties in Europe.

These parties challenge democracy by undermining liberal institutions, polarising public discourse, and threatening the core values of equality and solidarity essential to social democracy. As the 2024 European elections approach, understanding the drivers behind the success of right-wing populism and formulating effective responses that align with socialist and social democrat principles is crucial.
