BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union could become ungovernable if the far-right performs as well in the European Parliament election in June as in November's Dutch vote and as opinion polls predict, the head of the liberal Renew group said on Tuesday.

Far-right parties, including Marine Le Pen's National Rally in France and Matteo Salvini's League in Italy, are expected to prosper in the June election with pledges to toughen the bloc's approach to immigration and soften climate policies.
