We are living 100 years ago, repeating our past.
As a staunch Europeist and left-leaning person, I am not happy but I accept it. People feel (are?) poorer and more concerned, about the economy, the future, and their safety. They feel that the left-wing parties have failed them. I understand those who voted for the far right.
So the left should learn from this and do better next time. I personally feel that there’s a lot of open problems in the EU that should be addressed by competent and not ideological politicians. Let’s focus on that.
Ahh yes, Von der Leyen is concerned about democratically elected officals, not the way it’s done in her book.
Hell fucking no. Ban the right-wing parties.
finally!
I don’t know, it was pretty right in the 1930s
Neoliberal technocrats in the EU are responsible for this. Austerity is the main dish they serve.
Left wing parties, instead of staying loyal to their roots, supporting and organizing the local workers have gone mambo jumbo on immigration, which hurts local workers and equally importantly has converted entire city blocks into gjettos, and identity politics.
It is not surprising the needle has moved to the right wing since they ars anti immigration and pro workers on paper. Lets see how it plays out, maybe a huge shock is needed for the EU to change, else it probably dies
DUH ! Glad even these guys woke up now… on the other hand they had a protofascist plutocrat government for 15 years themselves and they didn’t quite notice
The European Union is known for not being business friendly and too regulated, the right wing governments will either fix the issues that the left has refused or is unable to fix, or the left will learn from their mistakes.
I am a centrist, more often leaning left than right, but I don’t see all of this as a problem. I’ve been following european and EU politics for more than half my life now and there has always been an eb and flow to this and, in the end, the whole system corrects itself to show the leanings of national governments and the populances. This tension is what makes democracy so great.
The left is anacronistic in the current timeline
Choosing a German leader with “ von der” in the middle of the name… why the things go rightwing?
That´s like saying Yeltsin ran a right-wing Soviet Union. It´s nonsense journalism.
Europe is healing
This is democracy too.
We should not abandon efforts to create partnership model, instead of sticking to dominator model.
Problem with right wing is that they want to stick to dominator model. They don’t want to see women as human, just as objects. This has major consequences, if we drop progress that was already achieved .
European Union was found on free trade, back then that was definitely considered right-wing.
Russian-supported politicians winning all up and down the western world.
Left-leaning parties ignoring real concerns about immigration and economics.
The right will swing in, totally screw things up unimaginably, and the left will get voted back in again having learned nothing.
Cycle repeats.
its that non-rigtwing parties dont take immigration seriously, polls have shown people dont want so large immigration, and for many this was important enough for them to vote rightwing even if they otherwise dont share these parties’s views.
a niche of leftist-but-antiimmigration party remains unfilled in many countries, so people just vote for the only parties who say they will stop migration.
im not here to say if thats right or wrong, and your standing on immigration is for you to decide, but thats kinda what is happening.
About fucking time
I don’t mind as long as they don’t go further to the right
