Since the 2008 financial crisis, life expectancies in the areas that were mentioned have been decreasing slightly as a result of austerity measures being imposed in order to reduce the debt that had been incred in those areas. This is resulting in increases in poverty, which in turn is resulting in a resurgence of fascist parties in those areas. Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia are the three countries that were hit the hardest by the austerity measures (a bit more than Greece), and therefore they now have right wing parties in control of their governments.
