Is there a country in the EU where the far right isn't on the rise? I need a Backup plan in case the nazis are voted in Germany again

spain's fsr right wing party went down from 15% to 12% in the last elections.

Portugal? IIRC they’ve been quite resistant to right-wing populism.

Portugal's Chega party increased to 7,2Β % in 2022. That's lower than in the rest of the EU, but still an increase by eleven seats.

I stand corrected. And somewhat dejected.

Switzerland is a well tested option

The last time the Nazis were in power in Germany, Switzerland closed its borders to most people trying to flee, so maybe a well tested, but still not so good option...

SVP currently holds 25% of the seats in the federal council of Switzerland. Not exactly what I'd call Nazi-free.

Worse still, they are at 27%. And they have been in this area for quite a long time, so the proportion is somewhat stable.
