its far-right counterparts in other European countries, e.g. the National Front in France, Jobbik in Hungary, the Freedom Party in the Netherlands and others. Every country seems to have one.

It is the left wing parties that support enlarging the EU which brings more countries into their free trade, open immigration area. The EU is finalizing a "free trade" deal with South Korea. As of now, only the right wing government in Italy is blocking it. The right wingers are commonly Eurosceptics who want intra-European tariffs and immigration controls reinstated.

I don't recall seeing European demonstrations for or against "free trade" or, for that matter, for stronger unions, higher taxes, less immigration. Since they do demonstrate when they are not happy about something, perhaps that means that there anger it directed elsewhere.
