Canada's EU ambassador says people should not be overly concerned about rise of right-wing parties in Europe

Canada's ambassador to the European Union, Jonathan Wilkinson, told a Senate committee that people should be cautious about becoming overly concerned about stronger right-wing parties in Europe. He cited Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who came to power in 2022 as leader of the far-right Fratelli d'Italia party, saying things have worked out just fine.
