Who Will Lead the EU?
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 17. 06. 2024
- Who will become the next Commission president? The next Council president? And the next High Representative of Foreign Affairs and security Policy? All of these top jobs are currently in discussion by the big EU parties EPP, S&D and Renew. Crucially, the far right (ECR, I&D) parties have been left out, which might create porblems going forward.

the fact that von der Leyen even is allowed to run after the scandals she caused back home for - years - has me shaking my head
What scandals did he cause?
What do u mean back come they made shady deals for COVID they made shady deals with US they are bought down by big corporation's and they work against the will of ppl in EU
Van derLeyen was there because she was selected not elected, as we'll as Macron. Le Pen was the choice of the masses. The latest held election
proved it. We the.People are fighting for our freedom, and gaining traction, and SHOULD not lose THE EYE of the TIGER.
THERE is ALTERNATIVE MEDIA of.brave men and women in the FRONTLINES
spewing.the TRUTH.
Wake upâ@@drscopeify
@@Lili4001 You need to wake up and stop spreading propaganda. After Elections Putin will stop paying money for comments you know right? Now is your last chance to move to the west and get out of Russia.
Please remove Ursula asap, nobody elected her, nobody wants her.
Indeed! She's an empty vessel making lots of noise, not productive for EU's progress, let alone prosperity! Only US benefits through her no backbone, no brain body sitting in EU Hq 'throne room' = a jinx not a blessing to EU Members! đšđŒâđŠłđ
Make Zelensky your President since EU love him so muchđ
Letting corrupt politicians like Von der Leyen and Costa be even consider leaders only gives more reasons to extremist parties, more arguments and voter bases...
Kaja is even worse...
@@bard-of-estland i doubt it, but go ahead... Surprise me with the list of crimes, deals with Narcos or pharma lobbies. Also for lawfare and influence traffic... And don't forget attacks to journalist and democratic institutions... If you can't name any of those, then there is no way that Kaja is worse
Stop spreading misinformation. Costa has never been proven or even put on trial for corruption. In fact, as far as politicians go, he's firmly on the integrate side of the spectrum.
@@bard-of-estland Makes me lose faith in the EU and I swer half of our problems wouldn't exist if volt and Renew had a majority or close to it in the EP because we would then likely have a democratic comission
omg just googled the portugese guy at least resigned vdl couldn't even do that
Welcome to the EU! You can rule the bloc no matter how incompetent or unpopular you were in your own country!
The three worst candidate! The most corrupted and the younger is ignorant and unexperienced.
@@FrankyS74 You say the word corruption but you do not know what it means, Putin in Russia and his Oligarch friends have stolen 25 years of Oil and Gas profits over 1 trillion Dollars were stolen from the Russian people, instead of building roads, schools, better life for Russians all that money was stolen, that is real corruption. No one in Europe has done a fraction of what Putin has done to Russia.
Built on the principal of our banks!! " TOO BIG TO FAIL " One can never find the incompetent feral fool politician who vucked the job up in the first place!!
It's a paradise for fraud/corruption; the unelected & unaccountable no constituency appointed appointee's European Commissioner's including, Ursula Von der Leyen and Josep Borrell.
The Union*
Support for Meloni.
Let's not forget that Costa resigned from his role are a prime minister in a corruption scandal
It's the council that decides their president. Costa is only appropriate for ego driven sectarian leaders
Yes, but it was such a bad case that is rightfully being ignored. I never voted for him, but the accusations were ridiculous and quite honestly a distraction from the real corruption cases that plague our very corrupt country.
Which didnât involve him in any way. What are you talking about.
@@Peaky17 Corruption did increase under his leadership so yhea
@@Peaky17 why did the goverment fall if was a bad case, they had majorety
Please not von der leyen, please... just anyone else
đ take kaja kallas, as a estonian please...
No Von der leyen must go !
yeah!
Je veux qu'on clarifie la Situation de Ursula Vonder leyen pour les SMS et les contacts des vaccins, ainsi que la disparition des Euros et la gestion financiĂšre de l'UE. Ursula ne peut-ĂȘtre prĂ©sentĂ©e sans ĂȘtre passĂ©e par un tribunal.
Costa asked for dimission because he is being investigated for corruption. Is he seriously being considered for anything???
Von der leyen equals more of the same. Stagnation and bad policies like the green new deal or open borders.
I guess I will do it.
Supreme leader, what Is your First desire !!!
Who are you? nvm, you have my vote
Yes, my lord
What your Statement you Supreme Leader.
Yes, my emperor
Happy with Ursula? What about her corruption cases?
i hope these clowns will be blocked by EU parliament (last time Von der Leyen won by only 7 votes)
Canât believe Costa is a realistic candidate
No one can..
AntĂłnio Costa was a terrible leader to Portugal whose biggest achievement was a lost decade. If this is to actually happen, he will be a disgraceful and sad page in EU's history.
@@diogonunes1608 What are you talking about? Portugal is one of the countries with better economic growth in Europe in the last couple of years. He cut public debt to below GDP levels for the first time in more than a decade.
Best man for the job. Was able to join opposing parties and civil society when he was mayor of Lisbon and widely considered the best mayor the city ever had. Was a good prime minister, was able to form a stable government out of a unlikely alliance with left and centre parties. Was head of government in the covid crisis were Portugal was recognised by its ability to handle the pandemic, his government saw the debt going down, while having first superavit years in Portugalâs democracy, GDP went up, salaries grown. The PS just didnât won the elections after him because he wasnât running, because his sucessor is quite unliked and yet the center right one by like one or two MPs after 8years of Costaâs government. His a fair negotiatior and liked. Excellent choice. He is not really a reformist, so better on the council then the commission.
he has the most important thing, heâs a person of color although from portuguese mother . kallas from estonia is a woman . itâs not a joke they will have them because of that and prepare because these people will be the ones , and there will be war
As a Czech, I would love to see Meloni as head of EU Commission
too bad Orban is not there
Ich auch. đââïžđ©đȘ
So far Kaja Kallas has said she's not planning on leaving Estonian politics, would be a surprising move even tho her popularity in Estonia is still quite low
She has said that she has not made up her mind yet. I think she is just preparing for the scenario where she is not selected in the end
Kaja is going to ruin Europe as she does with Estonia
â@@bard-of-estland lol, I would like Europe to be managed as good as Estonia under Kaja. You underestimated her
â@@imcbocianhell yeah, she'll do backroom deals with Russia while at yapping about protecting Europe
Shout out to her hubbys booming business in russia
she will if she can, she will be replaced sooner or later , kaja kallas is like braindead zombie .
I'm not feeling safe with this group of leaders, specially Ursula put a lot of pressure on me
The renew, social democrats and EPP should really rethink their candidates, especially Costa who had to resign as PM of Portugal due to corruption. This is something you should have brought up.
I am Portuguese. AntĂłnio Costa is not corrupt! He was accused of corruption. And the charges were dropped after he was found to be innocent.
Really appreciate your work giving us this information and explaining it well!
Glad it was helpful!
@@EUMadeSimple Hi,can you make a video about your opinion on Von Der Leyen EU presidency(of course when her term ends).

big no to sula
AntĂłnio Costa as President of the European Council? đ
I mean, as a Portuguese I'm not surprised, it's generally the path that bad Portuguese politicians generally do. DurĂŁo Barroso did the exact same thing.
Im actually surprised how far incompetent people can get. Lets hope he does much better in the European CouncilâŠ
Not just in Portugal. Von der Leyen was famous for building kindergartens as the German defence minister.
The council president does not need to be a spectacular politician. Most important is to prepare the counil meetings well and chair them efficiently. Something the current president seemingly lost interest in.
Politicians that fail in their country usually go to EU. In Belgium prime examples are Guy Verhofstadt and now we see Alexander De Croo lobbying for a job in EU. He took the lead in his party and it never lost so much as it did now. He was our prime minister, the gov was bad and his campaign with his party was a joke. Now as a big loser he's after a job in EU. Charles Michel was also considered a bad politician in Belgium. So yeah, obvious trend it seems. đ
You forget to mention that Antonio Costa who efficiently lead the Portuguese government decided on his own to resign while a cabal and lies from the extreme right were being sorted out. Don't compare apples with bananas when comparing him with self serving DurĂąo Barroso.
They have to GO !!!
AntĂłnio Costa was a disaster in Portugal. He resigned due to several corruption and incompetence scandals. How can we have such a person on such a position is astonishing.
He never, NEVER had any kind of vew for the future or even planning, he allways focuses on fixing problems instead of preventing them, barely ever keeps a promisse and knows nothing about sh1t
They LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE to work with people who are involved in corruption!
He wasn't exactly a "disaster" per see(he was bad,but not a disaster),he is a very good politician, considering that he would have won the election in Portugal if he still PM,despite his corruption and myself isn't a supporter of his party,he did a fiscally conservative government and left the office with the state coffers with money.
@@joaquimbarbosa896 Costa got a country in deep shit of course he had to focus on fixing problems,while his "solutions" caused many suffering among the Portuguese,he didn't left the country penniless or in a crisis and payed debt.
@@kermitthethinker1465 By sacrificing everything else...? We lack teachers, construction workers, military personal, we are hugely obsolete in judicial matters, we lack medics and people to work at hospitals. Costa caused those problems, many hospitals started closing sooner or reduce the number of emergencies they could take care of, he never made strategic decisions, is purely populist.
If you stop spending while having sky high taxes you can easely make money, doesn't mean you did a good job
Sure we aren't pennyless, we just had to destroy our services while not supporting basicly anything the country needs
I'd wish supermario
This channel is the best source to understand and get informed about EU politics. You are really doing amazing job! Thank you for educating people about EU and how it works. As far as my opinion is concerned, I think teaming up with S&D is not really a good choice as it doesn't represent what most of the Europeans really want.
Thank you! Nice to hear :)
I mean, if it's the second largest party, it is representing quite a part of europeans...
Could you elaborate?
I want to know your angle
@@alzalia_ Definitely S&D with 134 seats represents quite a good number of voters. But not so good if you compare to ECR and ID combined. Also if you consider the non-aligned Right wing parties number will exceed 200. So, the mathematics says most of the Europeans chose Center-right to Right groups compared to S&D.
Addition: Europeans also have shown trust on EPP by making them largest. So, teaming up with S&D might make most of the voters feel betrayed and further disappointed. People may lose trust on even Center-Right groups and eventually might seek refuge to extreme Right parties in near future. So, teaming up with S&D is not really good for Europe's future. It's my personal opinion.
@@alzalia_ There has been a clear swing to the right. S&D really should not be a part of any coalition at this point. The right may be divided but the amount of seats they got clearly exceeds the left.
3:34 Meloni really looks angry đ .
I thought the same haha
It comes to my mind that scene in Alien 3 when the guard says: "Well, I suppose it's my turn to command"
And the Morse replies: "Jesus! 85 wants to lead".
Oh, I forgot something more, what are they gonna do with the inappropriate emails between Ms Von Der Layer and the CEO of the big pharmaceuticals companies in reference to the COVID vaccine purchases of EU?
I am not happy with these choices. Let's do better.
Not inviting Meloni is going to backfire like crazy for them...
P.S. thx Made Simple for staying objective.
I agree. Isolating Meloni will only make the far right stronger. A big mistake in the long run.
Why? The S&D is bigger than the EHR.
Maybe, but considering that her main national opposition party (the PD) is now the largest voice in S&D (having gotten only 4% less than Meloni's own party at the election), it's not too unlikely she will be kept away.
@@Joey-ct8bm because it can make ECR ally with ID,making a bigger group than S&D if Fidesz and AfD join.
@@Joey-ct8bm Because Meloni has been the only EU leader coming stronger at the EU election. she can be highly influential with other far-right folks and the other EU leaders should try to keep Meloni on their side and use her to negotiate stuff with the farthest right parties (as already happened in the past).
Costa for EU council president would be a disgrace. He resigned as portuguese prime-minister following a corruption scandal involving his right-hand man and best friend taking place right under his nose. During his time as PM, Portugal oversaw unchecked waves of immigration that have irreparably changed the social fabric of the country and portuguese citizens never had so little purchasing power since adhering to the euro.
A disaster for Portugal = a disaster for Europe.
Costa is a disgrace to have even been born
I'm not sure why you mark Estonia as "North-Eastern" but Portugal as "Southern". By this logic, Portugal is "South-Western".
From a Portuguese in Estonia đ
Any self-respecting Eastern European will look like he's eating a citrus peel, after hearing their country is in Eastern Europe. Even though all former Warsaw pact and USSR members are geopolitically just that. For EU's leadership positions, geopolitics matter, not the geography.
Combine geography with geopolitical naming to soften the blow, without losing all of the intent.
From an Estonian (not in Eastern Europe)
Good sense of direction.
@@netiturtle the point is that I (and others) don't like the traditional Southern European branding as it is associated often with laziness, etc... for some reason
It's easy though. Look at the map Portugal is on the South part of Europe and Estonia is on the North East side of Europe.
@@lovelightjoy1868 if you insist in saying that Estonia is located on the North East, then you NEED to say that Portugal on the South West, because that is literally where it is. In fact, to a portuguese, every single other european is "eastern european" as literally that is no country as western as Portugal and yet there are several further south including Spain, Italy, Greece, etc
As a Finn, I'd love to see our Baltic neighbor in the top job!
Kallas is a remarkable leader with charisma, wisdom, and bravery.
By the way, I love your work! In Finland, there's only a limited amount of news about what happens in the EU and what the (non-Finnish) EU leaders are all about. But through your channel, I can effortlessly follow these events and get this information, IN REAL TIME!
Cheers to Finland and Estonia!
Ahahahaah Kaja is horrible
Better Ursula than Kaja
Was Kallas released from prison by accident? or does it not matter? Half of the EU and EP were in prison, were they only released to vote?
Von der leyen has failed on every front.......
Wrong. She did the best she possibly could for the foundation of the Union of the Soviet Socialist European Republics.
She did nothing out of mistake. It was all intended.
@@Hardcore_Remixer yes. We need to stop this socialism, let europeans live freely, and deport migrants
@@Hardcore_Remixer they deleted my comment. I said something anti immigration
And which were those fronts?
@@soundscape26 Energy policy, foreign policy, culture, economy, IMMIGRATION.
They are tryng to isolate Giorgia Meloni because she is the best leader compared to the other one that lost European election ( Scholz, macron , Sanchez etc)
What makes her a better leader? Aside from her admittedly good looks that is...
@@soundscape26Nothing really.
Von der Leyen and Kallas - a duo infernale which will lead us towards war!
I'm usually a more centre voter but i do feel that for this period we do need a leader who is more Right-Wing.
Great job!!! Not only for informing us on what might happen but also on going into the details!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
Not AntĂŽnio Costa!!!
He is incompetente!!!
Portugal is s...t because of him
Portugal has been since 1975, you guys never left leftism behind, social democrats till theres no more money to steal
You forgot to mention that only one of the 3 candidates is not under investigation-Mrs.Kallas.Would have been more informative.
Literally every party leader even the side one's is under investigation for corruption.
I think the reality is that "corruption" is a political tool used now days for the parties to shit on eachother.
I'll guarantee to you that almost every institution you have in your nation suffers to some degree from corruption from big dogs like administration all the way to your local lock smith being in cahoot with your mayor.
It doesn't mean that all the systems are rotten to the core, rather, how much politicians are willing to cooperate with other parties usually kind of shows how open they are to doing something meaningful.
The EU commission president must be approved by all members of the EU because it forms the face of the EU in the world. The same as for the current position of J. Borell which is a significant position that could jeopardize the security and safety of the EU. These two positions must be chosen carefully and the present two candidates have not proven their abilities to represent the EU for the second time.
ECR should be offered Josep Botell's place. That wouldn't only be fair, but bring more common sense to the foreign politics of the EU
Ursula must GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True, but who should follow?
@@timixalan5755 Anybody, even Chuck Norris would be better..
@@FrankyS74 so you would also like the left? Interesting, I think I might agree
@@timixalan5755 Ursula is far away the right ideology. She on the money side. On the other hand the real left is not not represented in the EU Parliament.
â@@timixalan5755Kalla
Great video. I love learning european politics in this channel.
Really like your channel. Since you may have to pronounce her name a lot, Giorgia is pronounced GiorgiĂ, "gia read as ju in just", like Giorjust without the "st", or with the second i being silent.
thanks
Deciding who gets the top jobs over dinner between them... Sounds democratic...
Democracy is that thing where you choose a party that choose a coalition that choose a candidate that you don't know who he is and when he meets you he tells you: "you don't know who I am!!"
@@Mark-gd2ti Crazy right
It's called mediated democracy. In most countries, you vote for a party, and the party makes the decisions for you. In most countries, you also get to directly vote for your president, but the president usually has a more symbolic role. Giving too much power to a single "leader" is just too dangerous, it's the reason why we have a parliament in the first place.
@@FowerpullCrenbarry Its rubbish.
@@BattleDrunk Voting for 1 guy and then he has all the power is rubbish. Democracy completely goes out the window with that. No majority/minority dynamic anymore, just 1 person with their very own ideology and weaknesses
Whether they saw or felt our disgust is not important anymore. What is really important now is to cut off their grips on things even more. Then ignore them as much as they did us. There are very many ways around them.
if Ursula comes back and Costa does win the role.... I'd have to wonder if their motivations are to tank EU as quickly as possible
Estonia leading EU Foreign Policy is perhaps the best choice there is.
Opposing Russia with understanding of the Eastern and Central European issues.
Opposing China and actively fighting for digital security and freedom as a sovereign nation.
Estonia, where they have monuments and streets named after Nazis. Don't think so.
No is not becouse in any case they do whatever von der leyen say or then we would not be in the situation we have been for years, all the sistem as failed a while ago (failed for us but all as intended for them by the moment they always wanted to full europe with migrants, everyone who have been in charge during the past years must be sacked)
kaja kallas is corrupt
Couldnât get a better person than Kaja Kallas for foreign affairs and security.
Absolutely no-one in an EU of 450 million people? Really?
I don't know the Estonian perspective but from an outside perspective she seems to be a great choice. I have much more doubts about the other two people (AntĂłnio Costa and von der Leyen).
@@johni9073Donât be stupid now Johnny, surely someone might be âbetterâ but she is the best fit.
What I mean by that is that she is the most fitting of the available candidate. You canât run an international organization by anointing any random person off the street.

"The will of the European people was ignored today in Brussels" - Orban
Bro the will of the European people put ID and ECR in the minority, it's not only democracy when it's convenient to you. Gaining from previous doesn't mean winning.
if ECR and ID merge, it becomes the second group at the EU parliament
@@blap4890 Setting aside for a moment that merging would be a bold faced power grabbing move and nothing short than a betrayal of their electors and the platforms that they were voted to enact given how widely they differ in their right wing stances, among which a completely incompatible foreign policy and their approaches at using the EU to do things domestically. If they actually manage to get all the votes they need to fill all jobs excluding Left, SD, Renew and Greens that would be democracy too.
A complete circus of a democracy that won't last a month, but a democratically elected circus nonetheless. It would embarass the EU just like Trump demolished the US rep, and they're going to shame themselves into big national level losses, as they will finally prove that they are the causes of most EU level issues they love to complain about.
But with such a small margin and such deep incompatibilities among them that's complete fantasy, and without enough votes you don't have a coalition that can govern, so they have been put in the minority by the EU people's will still.
@@blap4890 yeah, but fascists barely can work together. that's why they are two different groups and many more if you count fidez or afd and the like
@@blap4890 They won't because they don't share many ideas. Besides if the S&D merged with the Greens they would get that 2nd largest group back.

Thank you for the video
You are welcome
Leaving right wing out will only make it stronger (hopefully) both in EU parlament elections and in domestic politics in each country
It would be great to know how many Council Member's home party's are associated with which groups in the Parliament. It might give an indication of which candidate will get more support from the Council.
The people of Europe have had enough of the 'old' order.....
It's more transparent and accountable for the candidates of the EU parties to be given the first attempt to win a vote in Parliament to become Commission President. Like a Prime Minister.
Only the obedient servant of US could take up this top job. No question.
As a portuguese, i rather have anybody other than AntĂłnio Costa, hes a disgrace.
Good job! As Elon Musk kind of stated....When you have more judges on the field than players then it becomes a bit silly...

Objective and short. I like it
Very interesting to see the internal machinations of the EU. From across the pond in the states we don't get a detailed breakdown, let along all the quarrels within it. Fascinating.
All positions going to the center to left is extremely unlikely. But if it does happen, I dont think this is going to go over too well
For a really really long time, most of the world has been happily ignored by them. And when we all regrouped they came running with tails awagging.
does the european parlement form a coalition or do they just vote on individual issues?
Vote on individual issues. Coalition exists informally, so whatever coalition exists can never vote on issues unanimously, there will always be MEPs in the coalition that disagree. This is intentional because if it was possible to form a coalition, it would be possible to put the rest of parliament in oppposition. But in a multi-national block like the EU, you don't want to exclude parties and possibly entire countries from having a say.
we need Clare Daly
Shame. Again and again. They promised peace, harmony with integrity preserved. Now they serve the slop.
Let's just hope the next presidents of the council and commision actually get along.
Nice
Von der Leyen shouldnât be greedy! And sheâs the one keep shaking dictatorsâ hands.
True
She is a dictator herself and she showed it multiple times with her words and her actions
I feel uneasy about this channel. Like a European CNN, kinda sus.
Center-right, Kaja in charge, Ursula back to her useless life, Meloni leading the whole thing and Orban kept calm, keep support to Ukraine and kick the muslims out. Third countries citizens no longer granted social assistance.
I am so rooting for the meloni.
You are probably just infatuated with her. Can't blame you. lmao

Are you joking?
Congrats on the channel. Prob the only source I know that give us information on our new country (EU). I hope only one thing for the future of EU. More problems. That will force us come even more together and get solutions and leepfrong to the future. The calm years or 2004-2020 were the worst and less productive in the union and everybody thought was a king in itself. Till we all woke up. You know how west was formed? Persian empire paid the greek states to fight each other for who will be the favoured one. That led intra-competition to become more fierce between them. It also led to the development of better technologies and armies. Till the day came that Alexander made Persia a flat field. Don't fear conflict, don't fear intra-competition. Its life. Fear settlement, fear relaxation.
1:31 calling the green deal a great initiative it the most hilarious thing I've heard today
Isn't it just wonderful that we voted to shift Europe to the right, yet absolutely nothing changes, because the leader of the nominal right is probably the most left-wing EPP head ever was?
You know the normal right wing is pro eu and at least not climate denier / conspiracy
Yeah. That line up will not do.
Oh no not the WolfSlayer!
2:19 Bro was careful on how to do this part and still got me mad.
EU made simple: EU is a pilitical organization with a non- democratic structure. In fact it has a parliament, but this institution in spite of its name has in practice no power but that to approve the unilateral decisions of the Commission. The Commission itself is formed by individuals who obviously cater for the interests of NATO, Washington, multinational corporations and some other high-net worth individuals but not for those of 500millions citizens. That's EU in its core.
What about Poland? Why werenât they there giving there two cents.
Happy? No, but in the light of the results of the elections, these choices are realistic. Personally, I'd have preferred Kaja Kallas to head the Commission, if I could have my cake and eat it at the same time. As things stand, they'll likely need to placate Meloni with something, especially that now her ECR became 3rd largest ahead of Renew. Potentially, head of the Council for part 2?
No matter who leads the EU,foreign policy is still the same,nothing change.đźđźđź
Mega-coalition still holding over 400 seats. Nothing really changed. I hope that at least there are some developments to the right of the EPP, we will see if ECR and ID remain the dominant groups, which national parties will be part of them and which one of the two the mostly right wing new MEPs will join, if they join any at all.
They should go more left. The EPP spend 300 billion of EU funds in 5 years to agriculture and the second biggest expense was anti-immigration deals with African nations. The Tunesia deal was a far right deal with Meloni and von der Leyen, also a new immigration pact was signed. They shot down every left policy when farmers protested. I don't know how you can do even more for the far right than they were already doing.
@@Joey-ct8bm Lol,left wing EU parties are pure utopians,even ECR lackluster political program it's more realistic and feasible than left wing politics.
@@Joey-ct8bm So they pushed the brakes just a little bit (because people got mad and started protesting) on the flooding of Europe by illegal migrants and didn't allow for European agriculture to completely collapse (just yet).
Wow so far right. Slowing down a bit the far left transformation of Europe.
I know you lefties can't wait untill Europe becomes 3rd world where people have to steal food to survive and live in tents cause housing is too expensive (be patient I guess?).
For the record I'm mad at the migration pact as well. Migrants need to be deported not relocated further into EU against the will of sovereign nations.
Far left is getting insulent these days, calling EPP of all the blocks "far right".
@@Joey-ct8bm Why should they go left when elections results clearly show that people want right-wing policies? lol. Leftists and their dictatorships. Name a more iconic duo.
The problem with the nationalistic parties is that if they are truly nationalistic, they wonât be able to make deals with other nationalists. Italian nationalist bash the French, the French bash the Germans, the Hungarians actually claim the land of the Romanians and Slovaks etc. So itâs not really clear how they are going to be able to govern together. And itâs quite probable they will just turn everything into chaos.
Which is also why Putin/Russia supports them, financially and through hybrid operations (together with the far left parties). They want to see Europe infighting and unable to act; together, Europe is much stronger than Russia, but individually, most if not all states are weaker than Russia, so Russian policy is to divide us. They absolutely loved Brexit and arguably played a small but maybe a decisive role in making it happen.
The support from Russia for nationalistic parties also makes you question whether they are indeed ânationalisticâ - are you really nationalistic if you just (inadvertently or not) further an agenda of a foreign empire? Thatâs my biggest problem with the ânationalistsâ like RN, AfD or Fidesz. Meloni or Polish nationalists at least seems to be really kicking for Italy and Europe, not Russia.
If all these roles just do what the USA tells them to do, then what is the point!!
Hopefully there will be a great chance in the leadership of EU for the sake of the preservation of our heritage, culture and civilisation.
I don't understand.
The EP hĂĄs no voice?
The higher leads of the EU aren't decided via elections, it's an internal decision.
Does anyone knows what will happen with Roberta Metsola? Can we be calm that she Will she be reelected as the president of the European Parliament?
Terrible...especially Ursula....she must leave
none of these 3 corrupt people choose an independent
