Europe’s grand coalition is over: It’s time for mainstream parties to break with the European People’s Party

The era of Europe's grand coalition is coming to an end as mainstream political parties, including Socialists, Liberals, and Greens, face a critical juncture. They've been supporting the European People’s Party while condemning its hard-right elements, creating a contradiction that's now harder to ignore. With the upcoming renewal of the European Parliament presidency, these parties must decide whether to continue this unsustainable alliance or break away. This shift could reshape the political landscape, emphasizing a more cohesive stance against right-wing influence in European politics.
