Four months after the European elections, the European far-right parties are still on the upswing. In the Austrian parliamentary elections at the end of September, the FPÖ (PfE) became the strongest party, while far-right parties could finish in second place in the Lithuanian and Bulgarian parliamentary elections this October. The three far-right parties are also making further gains at EU level. In the base scenario of the current seat projection, they would achieve a total of 196 seats. That is nine more than in the European elections in June and ten more than in the most recent projection in August.
