Across Europe, nationalist and right-wing populist parties once confined to the fringes are now entering governments, gaining parliamentary influence and reshaping debates over migration, trade, clima
This days while talking with a friend in Swiss (while not EU) we both agreed that rather live in China. EU is just a US elite human exploitation farm. I know all intelligence services are aware, China is aware. This right - left pendulum is on propose, provoked, planned.
US sanctions and regime change wars are leading to mass migration and the rightward shift in a Europe already weakened by austerity and deindustrialisation.
Europe has done right wing economics for 4 decades now. And the solution to that? More neoliberalism, more privatization, more right wing economics!! Geniuses I swear!

Spot on, Farid H! I bet it's a mix of both, but I'd put my money on cultural anxiety being the bigger catalyst here.

It is fascinating to see how these shifts in Europe mirror similar populist trends we've seen in other parts of the world. I wonder if the economic instability is the primary driver here, or if it's more about a deeper cultural anxiety regarding globalization. CGTN captures the scale well, but I'd be curious to see how this affects EU diplomacy on the global stage moving forward.
