"French President Emmanuel Macron has gone from "Mr. Europe" eight years ago to the solitary man by the Seine."
"At the same time, ex-German Chancellor Angela Merkel's legacy is also going through a sudden and sharp downgrade."
"How did these centrist pillars of Europe tank so quickly? With parties on the far right and far left rising up in their place, are citizens actually becoming more extreme - or are they just fed up?"

Emmanuel Macron has declined from being labeled "Mr. Europe" eight years ago to a solitary figure by the Seine. Ex-German Chancellor Angela Merkel's legacy is undergoing a sudden and sharp downgrade. Centrist political pillars across Europe have lost ground while parties on the far right and far left rise. The rapid shift raises questions about whether citizens are becoming more ideologically extreme or are expressing growing disillusionment with established parties. Political landscapes in multiple countries show voters shifting toward populist alternatives and away from centrist compromise. An alleged espionage scandal involving Hungary's Viktor Orbán and European Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi has intensified concerns about democratic norms and foreign influence.
