Turkey.
A populist, religious conservative broad tent that has lined up pretty much completely behind a controversial strongman promising a new kind of politics, facing off against the old establishment natural party of government, which is a violent, militaristic, anti-democratic party which draws its support almost entirely from the old urban secular liberal government elite, an anti-democratic deep state, and a handful of minority groups (despite its miserable history on minority cultures).
The genuine left is in despair.
If Turkey doesn't count as European and it probably doesn't, I'd probably say Italy. Renzi was probably the best example of a neoliberal-left Obama-style politician outside of America. And if you forced the members of the 5SM, Lega Nord, and Italian right into one party through the power of Duverger's Law, someone like Trump could come out of that primary.
