Right-wing and Euroskeptic populist parties, which have been funded by Moscow, are expected to perform well in June's European Parliament elections.
The European Union is mulling a plan to ban Russian financing for political parties and think tanks ahead of pivotal June elections, a step that would go some way to addressing the Kremlin's historic use of populist individuals and parties to sow discord within the bloc.The Financial Times reported this week—citing a confidential draft—that the proposal is part of the EU's 14th sanctions package on Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Right-wing and Euroskeptic populist parties are expected to perform strongly in the contest, surging on a wave of anti-establishment discontent across the continent spurred by issues including cost-of-living crises, inflation, anxieties over migration and the war in Ukraine.The Kremlin has traditionally sought to fund and support such parties.
