Not after an election they didn't because Pro EU parties were elected
after their Elections, in Italy, this is now not the case. Sure it's an Hung Parliament but Anti-Establishment & Anti-EU parties have the biggest collection of votes and will likely form the next government.
But I would not shrug off the failures in those prior elections, in most of those countries you mention...
In Austria: The far-right Freedom Party is now a central part of a right wing coalition government.
In France, Le Pen may have lost but her and her party still made it to the second round of the election with historic gains.
In Germany: A far-right party will, this month, become the official opposition party. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) will be boosted by official opposition funding, with seats on influential parliamentary committees.
Resentment of the EU is on the rise and so it should be.
