Good for the European public sphere to get more English news from different national perspectives, even if here for a very serious reason:

Within the next decade the radical right is going to be the main force on the right in Europe (national and EU level). This includes far-right parties and formerly centre-right parties shifting their position. Moderate conservatism and Christian democracy will largely disappear on the right. 1/

Nice facts presented. 3 thoughts: Is it surprising that there is a lower demand in general for any car in the EU? Don't EU country policies also support greater use of public transport and make it less attractive for city-dwellers to own a car? Wouldn't then we want to prepare for lower car sales?

Now out in @cpsjournal.bsky.social. In our new article, @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I show that where local rent prices increase more, residents with lower incomes become more likely to support the radical right AfD.
