Next round of elections, Le Pen wins France, Vox takes Spain, AfD establish the new German Reich, FPÖ win Austria and immediately vote for Anschluß 2.0, and the new Swedish PM is Jimmie Åkesson. Hungary remains unchanged. (Not sure if they’d bother with the Polish election, given that Russia, Germany and Hungary are just going to partition it, for old time’s sake.)
Given its geographic location, it needs to be the Israel/Singapore of Europe: heavily militarised, with every able-bodied adult being at least a reservist, and a double-digit proportion of its GDP going to defence, if its going to have a chance. At least if it can’t count on the US to defend it.

They certainly learned from their history.
