With two months to go before the European elections, the Greek far right continues to make headway since ultranationalist parties achieved record scores in the last legislative elections. The Greek Solution party, which currently has only one MEP in the European Parliament, continues its ascension in the polls.

Greece's far right is back in the spotlight after it made a sweeping return to the Greek Parliament after the 2023 general elections where ultranationalist parties garnered together 12.8 percent of the vote.
