MOSCOW. June 10 (Interfax) - The European Parliament elections have shown that the popularity of right-wing parties is growing, and they will soon start "stepping on the heels" of the pro-Europeans who currently lead, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"It seems that the [European Parliament] majority will be pro-European and pro-Ukrainian. We have yet to analyze the future composition of the European Parliament but we are also observing a trend towards the rising popularity of right-wing parties. This dynamics are visible to the naked eye," Peskov told reporters on Monday.
"There is no doubt that although the pro-Europeans retain their paramount, leading positions for now, the right-wing parties are likely to start stepping on their heels at some point," he said.
The Kremlin is closely watching these processes, Peskov said.
