Europeans of all kinds are sick of watching their countries disappear. Don't have to be "right wing."
If its called right wing its called that. The dutch are going to have an opt out of leaving the EU. We have a so called right wing at power now. God bless the man.
But he is more social then the previous parties and more honest. Opting for better health care for the poor. So to be honest. Everyone who is against the EU and immigration is called far right.
Left wing people are often narcissistic and violent.
What's the best right wing, mid wing or left wing ?
Anyone who is not far left is considered as far right. The best metric to determine if you are far right, or far left for that matter, is their position concerning democracy and free speech. If they wish to reduce or restrict democracy or free speech you can say they are far right, or left. I don't see that being the case for most of the populist parties in Europe.
@@peterfmodel this is not necessarily true. We have 1 winning party in the Netherlands (NSC) who is obviously in the middle more leaning towards right. Same could be said about the biggest party. If its about immigration you could say they are extreme right but when it comes to social public services they are even more leaning towards the left then most stereotype "left wing" parties.
The depictions by media are often incomplete, propagandous and overexaggerated.
The left had their chance....
Well said 👍
And what’s wrong with “far right”? It’s a democracy isn’t it? If that’s what the people are voting for obviously that’s what they want.
Climate crisis as the biggest threat is the most laughable thing ever. Imagine living under artillery bombardment then hearing some woman complain about the weather
humans are not in charge of weather never will be but the business of climate change makes Musk, Bezos, Gates, Buffett and more billions like the Ozone conspiracy did for DuPont...there was no ozone problem just a way to make money for DuPont
I’m sure that continual drought and water shortages have no effect on migration, eh?
So the DW is telling us they can interview socialist politicians, and poised as unbiased and wise at the same time? 😂😂😂 what a charade!
when did DW ever claim to be unbiased?
In my European country (and others), polls have shown that the traditional left / right ideological lines don't capture most people, who are a bit of both. People will vote for 'right wing' parties because they have the guts to speak out on immigration issues, but on a lot of economic and ecological issues they will be better represented by parties aligned on the left.
The centre needs to get more creative. A candidate who leans left on economics, right on immigration, and centre on culture war issues arguably holds the future in their hands. But to ideological puritans they appear confused or hypocrital.
Exactly. Thats the only reason I currently vote right.
Perfectly said. When political leaders realize this it will be a better world for all.
All the left knows how to do is tax and spend. Not a good recipe for any economy. Also the left doesn't seem to have a problem with immigrants receiving welfare illegally, not a good idea for the economy.
Is a "right wing" surge better or worse than a "left wing" surge? I don't get it 😂
Finally someone said it.
As far right as possible ....
It’s far worse, 100 times over.
It's a far right surge because a left wing media outlet has an opinion to share. Far left wing surge would just be called a left wing surge.
If you fundamentally believe in democracy, you believe the outcome of democracy is good. That includes the right winning. Or do you believe in democracy when it’s delivering what YOU want?
Yes and no. They do believe in democracy but to protect democracy and the freedom of minorities, You have to make sure there are things in place to prevent it from being taken away. Something many western nations understood. Like having a constitution that solidify the rights of citizens and can't be easily changed and moved because it protects everyone within the society and keep democracy alive.
Well, this is pretty much strictly about the role of international bodies/supranational bodies, so you better side with democracy whatever the outcome
By 1930, between the communists and the nsdap, more than 50% of the German legislature, was committed to ending democracy, but people were voting for that. You either believe in it or you don’t.
@@1stLtDavis no, if the outcome harms minorities or the population or the foundation of set democracy then it would be a net negative. Not all Democratic decisions are good ones
Minority rights are not required to have democracy. There are many forms of democracy, most of which do not include any such protections. If the majority can’t vote to end the democracy, then you don’t have democracy. You have something else. Something managed. That’s fine. Stop pretending.
To get straight to the point and as an outsider looking into Europe, I think that if the EU got its immigration issues under control, the so called “far right” would fade away.
Bringing in uneducated desperate people and giving them free stuff guarantees a vote for you but people will eventually wake up to this scheme
I have a big issue with the immigration policies in Europe... We should welcome people that come here to work for a better life but what this people do is spend billions on paying for housing , medical care and so on for immigrants. That is totally unacceptable.
@@blanamaximalol wut 😂😂 ok Ivan
@@blanamaxima cheap labor is needed in “rich” countries the political class knows it can provide cheap labor and also get cheap votes from said labor and it’s dependents at the expense of their original citizens this will always lead to unrest
Nah, climate policy and housing in some countries really is a problem, making cost of life too high. At least in my country center left didnt adress that for the lower and lower middle class. More people will just vote more right.
Democracy is democracy as long as the one we declare is correct wins. Got it. 🤝
Let's keep everyone we disagree with out of key positions...doesn't sound very democratic to me.
Right wing time to make history
Let´s hope so. Anything must be better than what we have right now.
Oh noes!! A democratic vote might lead to the end of democracy! Let us force everyone to vote the same way in order to save democracy!
People on the right are right this time around
Sorry, isn't it illegal in the EU for the people to have a say in who governs them?
No they have to vote left and socialist otherwise you are put on a list now
No, the EU is not russia
@@nicke0b Not yet. But the fir right wants it to be.
@@alienvampirebusterswhoyoug8257 BROTHERS OF ITALY WILL WIN
WHAT does the analyst mean, “The TOP EU jobs are OFF LIMITS to the Right?!” ….Kind of showing their non-democratic colours ….
We are kind of tired of what has been going on for the last couple of years. Now you say that if you don't get what you want is not valid and will jeopardize the union? 😂
Either you don’t think the election was fair, or you think it was fair, but you don’t like policy prescriptions coming from the winner of a fair election. In the latter case, you don’t really like democracy - that’s actually your problem.
The main reason Trump threatened to quit NATO was that the other countries were not contributing as much as USA. Trump did not object to NATO in general just that the USA was contributing much more than other countries proportionally speaking 😂 2:51
His problem was not that they weren't spending as much on defence as the US (roughly 6% of gdp), his problem was, that they didn't even live up to their pledge of spending 2%! This includes prosperous well-off countries like the Netherlands and Germany! (Effing cheapskates).
@@DG-ie5ip You are welcome! Also, please remember that Trump the other countries to contribute their fair share to NATO. His strategy worked. It's called credibility and respect 🙏 👏 👌 🙌 👍 😌 🙏
yeah our dutch army really has been cut cost over decennia to become a beggar. It is true though that some of the dutch aces up it's sleeve like ASML, 'water sciences', one of worlds biggest pension holdings (around 1500 billion) ánd favorable diplomacy with germany and US keeps the dutch in this "privileged" position in some sense.@@Murad2804
And that is why he called Putin "a genius"?
France and Germany were as rich as the 36th and the 31st U.S. states in 2000, but 21 years later, French GDP per capita was lower than the 48th poorest US state, Arkansas, while German GDP per capita had fallen to become no more prosperous than the 38th US state, Oklahoma. The eurozone isn’t about to collapse - it’s worse than that.
wow i was not aware of those stats and as you know (if you live in the US) those are more or less backwater states
Germany have a Big problem with ppl on government support, that can work but don't want to. There was a debate the other day in the parliament, they were saying ppl that are becoming government support are increasing each year and it was unfair to the working class because that population if like 48 % almost as big as the working-class. But that's not the only issue here it's just part of the reason why germany economy is declining.
The GDP per capita figures in the US is scewed heavily towards having a few billionaires while most people don’t make nearly as much as the GDP per capita figures. The median income is a better measurement. The average German or Frenchman don’t need to worry about going bankrupt if they become sick and they have better work-life balance with a lot of paid vacation days than Americans do. Unless you’re an entrepreneur or a highly skilled professional in healthcare or IT earning six figures, Germany or France is better for you to live in.
@liamthomas8029 GDP is gross domestic product. Has nothing to do with wealth inequality. Yea median income is better to look at than average income bc billionaires throw the numbers off but that has nothing to do with GDP.
@@DG-ie5ip what's GE ? Yes back in 2022 I read in a news paper they want to increase the retirement age I honestly don't remember what age they said the want to move it to. Around that same time there was a big protest in france bcz back then the frence government was also debating whether or not they want increase the age of retirement. Since I can mainly speak about German since I came here they always say it has a aging population which is true. But with that aging population n the unemployment rate, I always asked myself where will germany be in the next 10 years. About a week ago they said on the news that they want to decrease the amount of money retirees will receive, so for those ppl who will be retiring in 2024 they will get less money. In my honest opinion I find it a bit unfair.
If you believe in democracy, then you believe a legitimate election can include voting to change or even end the democracy. One of the reasons for German culpability presented in the trials was that the German people were voting for both communists as well as NSDAP to the legislature, such that over 50% of the legislature was committed to ending democracy by 1930. But that’s legitimate. That’s the result of voting in would have been widely declared pretty fair elections. Hence culpability for what follows.
Do you think there is a democracy in the US?
@@user-hc7dd2rl5d that’s nice but do you think we have an actual justice system and a democracy right now?
The rise of populist parties have risen in popularity because the current direction of Europe is either unpopular, or is causing serious issues for citizens. If the issues that are concerning people the most were addressed these populist parties would not have gained so much support.
The wokies working at DW News are very concerned about this "right wing" rise. 😂 They know that their time is up and that accountability is coming!
Ahh ok... so forming a grand coalition to keep chosen right wing parties out of key positions in Brussels is good and is called democracy these days? In other words a small groep decides what happens and what does not happen in the EU... And we have to be proud of that? Even so pround we have to spread this system to the rest of the world. I often hear politicians say the EU is not perfect and it has to change, but there will never be change if the same people/groups stay in power.
Hows the quality of life after mass immigration? lol
Does right automatically equal far right?
No, liberal capitalism is right wing, most EU centre parties are “right wing”. Far right is culture war vice signalling, or like actual fascism.
Is it “far right extremist parties” or “populist parties”?
@@lisapet160 AfD seems to be.
Far right populists. There are no extremist parties in EU.
What has happened to the corruption scandals ( cash in brifcase ) involving the top members of the European Union
Oh, my Gosh I didn't think that Europe would be dealing with some of the issues that We are here in the USA !!!
I wonder what's the opinion of far-right wing? How to discern right and left ? Thank you
I wonder how you guarantee your security without paying attention to your neighbours security concerns.
What is the “ extreme right” ?
I agree. The current system is a coalition of both the centre right and centre left, inter alia. Still we would rather have a stronger position in the EU parliament, rather than a weakened state
one can only hope
Go right wings!!!
It is unreal to me that anyone could say with a straight face that climate is our number one challenge right now.
How do you define the term 'populist parties' in DW? From the context I understand that anything that is not socialist, communist, green or simply red, am I right?
What about Slovakia
Viktor orban should be the EU's king 👑
1:52 regular orban walking looks like wide zelensky
I'm obviously supporting EPP parties and glad we are tackling the issues like immigration, inter alia. And taking these talking points out of the hands of other groups.
What is a far right party in your opinion dear lady? It sounds that you make this designation from far left position, and normally anyone that does nor agree with you is far right. Any extreme is not good, far left equally with far right
Which is why most EU countries are Centrist governments, either centrist-Right or centrist-left. So your soviet whataboutism does not work.
I dont like you call it extremist rightwing parties. I vote for a party that is part of the ID group. Im not extreme at all. Neighter is that party.
neo colonialism neo feudalism neo imperialism europe has been growing
I thought I was a Tory I’m not
Lets make ID the biggest this election ❤
The argument from EPP parties should be. Do you want to vote for a far right party that actually won't have a strong voice in Europe because the EPP would do a coalition similar to this government. Or do right wing voters want a stronger EPP, that still holds more of its concerns and stronger EPP can get more agendas through.
he said in africa things hasstarted doin thing there way too(he think usa/nato/eu/un will be push out for good
EU, what do you think the genocide accusation in Gaza?
today, USA said no genocide in Gaza . icc , piss off.
what's DW analysis?!
We think the Chinese genocide of their minorities should be stopped.
How is there a genocide in gaza when they doubled their population for less than 15 years
Pootler said that ussr territory in Germany must be russian 😂😂 burgers prepare 😂
Krazy world 🌍
It's not good to hear other countries can't count on the united states
I believe the EU countries would be best off if the war in Ukraine ended … America will win since most EU countries are paying their fair share to NATO which wasn’t previously happening.
Let's make Europe for Europeans !!!!
"It's about liberal democracy vs autocracy" Really? LIBERAL DEMOCRACY IS THE AUTOCRACY!
it seems that democracy is becoming a problem for the technocracy that destroyed the free world🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They will be moving to EU more before Zelanssky mobilized for prolonging war😢
Enough is enough!
The Left have good reason to worry. People (common sense people) not far right, are concerned about the unfiltered immigration into their countries.
If the USA quit (which is certain) from the Ukraine war and somewhat far right parties come into power in Europe then those Countries certainly show their middle fingers to Ukraine. 😂😂😂😂
I know i will make sure to vote for the most EU skeptical political party possible.
only been told russia will very soon get a country into russia(he said usa/nato cnt do any thing about it as they are not under usa/nato laws in any way (he said russia dnt need them any way(there is 2countrys will jump into russia any way( love for gaza
It isn't just the EU, but also NATO, that has been adversely affected by the institutional necessity for unanimous consent. That really needs to change in both organizations. The alternative is to expel contrarian, oppositional countries that do not reflect the values of the organization (looking at you Hungary and Turkey). In the case of NATO, since there is no provision for expelling a member, that might mean dissolving NATO and re-writing the charter in to a NATO2 that better works for the alliance. In the case of the EU, similar consideration should be given to expelling those member countries who toe the Kremlin line or changing the rules so that those countries cannot thwart the will of the vast majority or member countries.
Vetos deny the postponing of dealing with the disagreements. Otherwise you would end up having squables inside these blocks because those would disagree with certain measures would eventually try to carry out their will and in the worst possible moments like when they are needed most.
You sound like the Democrats in the United States.
Will end with Donald Trump!!
Give me a pro-Ukraine and anti-immigration/islam platform.
You make it.
You may be pres of EU next year.
Think about it.
Heck mates
Left wing to Centre (even Centre Right): it is more balanced, evoiromental, and except for certain treaties like Lisbon and maybe secession movements from Europe countries, it's pro European. Heck might have the idea of starting out on 1 or 2 new European languages.
Right wing: they are unbalanced (their political alliances seem to break up after each election than stay together) and anti European.
Who should you support? Hm?
@@DG-ie5ip sorry? It's my experience and it seems like a majority of Pro European Vs. minority Anti European.
@@KangaKuchayou mean the same left wing that actively supports mass illegal immigration to EU and among other things wants to force people into using electric cars etc? No, thanks. Supporting mass illegal immigration in any way is anti-European in every possible way. But nice try trying to spin this around.
@@KangaKucha Exactly. Ask the pro-European voters why we have this immigration crisis.
@@Hardcore_Remixerbecause Europe is surrounded by unstable, economically depressed countries, many of which are in the middle of civil wars, droughts, and food and water shortages, and at least one of which is actively being invaded by some old man with 19th-Century imperial delusions?

EU is centrist governed. So your US lies of "Left wing" don't work here either.
I'd write that I'm hoping that the outcome of the election will prevent the Ukraine project from going forward, but we all know that that won't be the case.
No reason to believe that far right Europe would want to abandon Ukraine.

Woke left weak Leaders no thanks 🤮
Russia since 900AD, with the Empire of Novgorod and later the Great Alexander Nevski, it is part of Europe and Kiev was the first Capital of Russia.
Ukraine part of Russia, part of Poland, then the Soviets Union.
Since only in 1991 that Ukraine is independent. Ukrainians are part of the Cosaques.
Cosaques half European, half Asian, Mongols.
Cosaques is not an ethnicity, but a trade. And during Catherine the Great they was resettled to borders of Russian Empire on northern caucasus and central asia.
