For how much Europe will withstand the far -right – the momentum was lost, the threat remains

Για πόσο η Ευρώπη θα αντέχει απέναντι στην ακροδεξιά  – Το μομέντουμ χάθηκε, η απειλή παραμένει

Its resistance to its rise is shown by by, as the latest electoral clashes in the Member States of the Union have brought to the first place central democratic forces, which has recently happened in countries such as Australia and Canada.

Particularly the big overthrow that took place in its presidential election, where the Central Mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan, overturned the difference of 20 whole units he had recorded in the first round, at least his candidate and fan, “New Orban”.

The rise of the far -right, which has been observed in Europe in recent years in conjunction with Trump’s return to the White House, have created a climate of insecurity and more general concern about the future of the Western world, and there are also a few who are particularly critical of democratic policies for the fact that back ”and which are a privileged field for the far -right votes in recent years.

Romania and Poland clashes

As mentioned above, and what had preceded the previous months had given even more interest to the process. It is recalled that the match was normally scheduled for last November, when and indeed the first round took place. The far -right and fan of Kalin Georgkescu had prevailed there, but the Constitutional Court ruled to annul the entire electoral process two days before the second round of the presidential election, as there was serious evidence of violations of the lawsuits concerning the stimulus of the elections.

Concerning the repetition of the May, the victory, and with a great difference between the far -right Simon in the first round, reasonably created the belief that he was particularly likely to be the next Romanian president. This would be problematic, both for EU cohesion, as in many cases decisions needed unanimity between Member States, with their Prime Minister Hungary, Victor Orban, already being the “black sheep”, while according to analysts, it would also increase Russian, as it is a Russian area.

At the same time, in the first round of the presidential election in Poland, the pro -European Mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trarsovsky, was in the first place, with the second round scheduled for Sunday, June 1st.

A victory of Trarsovsky would allow Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his pro -European government coalition to put an end to the difficult “co -habitation” with the outgoing state leader Andrei Dunda, while a success of Navrotsky could do it.

The case of Portugal

But the election also took place in Portugal last week, where the right -wing alliance, which has been in power for a year in Portugal, while the opposition – the socialists – saw its percentage shrink as the far -right Chega.

The fact that the polls did not arise from the autonomous government made many consider the right -wing government’s government partnership with the far -right. But both outgoing Prime Minister Luis Montenegro and former Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel have assured in every tone that they would not negotiate the creation of a coalition government with Chega.

The far -right as a key factor in political game

But the far -right may not, at least for the time being, take over the governance of countries, yet it has succeeded, as recent electoral clashes show an important factor in political game in a series of European countries, where a few years ago it was a marginalized policy.

The constant rise, even in conjunction with Russia’s effort, which is a common secret that it supports far -right parties across Europe, to increase its influence on Old Epirus raises great concern about future electoral clashes. At the same time, Donald Trump’s return to the White House seems to at least initially gave another impetus to the far -right forces, although the US foreign policy seems to tend to remove this momentum.
