Thanks for all the amazing content you've made so far. I love your view on geopolitics, and always watch whenever you post something new. Btw, you put UE in the video tags instead of EU.
This video is a perfect example of why Europe does not work and how it might work. As someone who reads news almost an hour a day, I have learned more about current European politics in 5 minutes from this video than I have in about the last 5 years. And I read international news about as much if not more than German news. You cannot have a European political body if you do not have a European public.
Whoever is doing graphics and data visualizations in these videos is doing amazing job.
Except for using a map of Europe still showing the USSR and Yugoslavia.
@@Minchya 14:55 the map represents 1920s and 1930s Europe, as said in the video.
@@kejuu6887 Thanks I must have missed that.
They now have the correct members of NATO shown correctly on the maps.
If the EU wants to survive, it needs competency and ambition. It is really as simple as that.
what does non-survival look like?
trade borders, import taxes, and unique trade rules x 27.
1950's style.
Can any of you see that happening?
It costs everyone too much, for no gain. So there is no 'if'. Something resembling the EU will continue. It is now the default. It is the natural state of life for Europeans.
For the EU to 'fail' you must come up with a better way. A better project. A better design. And I don't see any.
@@EdT.-xt6yv There is nothing that I care less about than religion. I am for forced atheism, just so lunatics can shut up about their imaginary friends.
@@EdT.-xt6yvcalling the EU secular and Christian is really funny
@@EdT.-xt6yv Its too late. Muslims will make up the majority in Western Europe in the future. Most of the youth born in Western Europe these days, have parent from Asia and Africa of Muslim background. Most ethnic European woman prefer not to have many children unless they convert to Islam to marry a Muslim man. Either Europe agrees to what these Muslim migrants want or there will be civil war similar to Lebanon that was once Christian before Muslims flooded in from Palestine, Syria and other places. Unlike places like Russia that demands assimilation; Westerner elites allows migrants to hold onto their language, culture, faith everything in the name of multiculturalism.
@@EdT.-xt6yv compared to the dogma and influence of modernism? No,
You know at least here in America pop culture was heavily scrutinized and censored by the conservative camp in the early 2000s. I wasn’t keen on that,
Now it’s heavily scrutinized and censored by identity politics of the left,
Roughly its similar in Europe,
Frankly blaming Christian influence for your problems when they haven’t been in power or even respected for two decades is amusing.
2:04 "delegates according to the size of the country" isn't wrong but somewhat misleading since small countries get more MEPs so they are not simply overruled.
Germany has the largest population and the most delegates but they actually get the least delegates per inhabitants while Malta gets most making a Maltese vote in the EU elections counting nearly 10 times as much as a German one.

Just like America
This is just like Senate seats in America.
@@danielormsbee7668 No, the Senate gives 2 seats per State, regardless of population or size.
@@danielormsbee7668: No, it isn’t. US states get the same number of senate seats regardless of population, so that is best compared to the European Council, which has one seat per member state.
Small correction: jobbik didn't gain any seats from Hungary.
ok, so I must have seen the previous arragement
@GoodTimesBadTimes you probably mean Mi Hazánk, a relatively new far right party which consists of former Jobbik members who left after the party transitioned from far right to moderate conservative. They won one seat in the EP.
It might be worth pointing out that a lot (not all, but most) of the right wing parties, and specifically their candidates are specifically honed in on anti-immigration (not without reason) and soft euro-skepticism, but they are NOT at all their friendly to Russia when it comes to the Ukraine conflict, and I think that’s an important point. Europeans want smart decisions on immigration and they don’t want their sovereignty as it pertains to their CULTURE to be usurped by the EU, but they definitely don’t want Russia to just run roughshot over their neighbors like they’re somehow owed something
I'm italian. Meloni has changed her position once getting in power to please the US government and EU technocrats.
For years, she was critical of NATO expansion and the western involvement in 2014 coup.
She had close relations with Russia and when the war ends, we'll be back to friendly relations most probably
@@tobia5267 this is correct. She did what is politically convenient for the time being. It'll go back to normal once Ukraine loses the war.
Russians like italians. And italians like russians. This will not change
@@topogigio797 fascists like fascists, well colour me surprised
@@topogigio797
Probably not when Russia loses the war
@@audaxxaudaxx160 her party indeed comes from those roots. But then, in practice, there is no sign of that. For now at least.
Besides, left wing governments had great relations with Russia too because it was economically beneficial. And Putin genuinely likes and respects Italy, for many reasons
In Hungary, Jobbik got only 1% and no seats, Mi Hazánk, the new far-right movement, a satellite of Fidesz, got 6,73% and 1 seat
Been to Hungary, loved it! I should return at some point 😊
Jeah but a lot of far-right people vote for fidesz and a big number of them for the Tisza party. So there is a lot more of them they are just more spread out.
@@swabianbugno far right guy would ever vote Tisza. It is a center right party.
Based Polish fella 😎
Based. They voted from Renew not Russia funded ECR and ID
@@mcboat3467ECR is anti russian
According to his analysis CDU would be left, so I guess depending on your ideology he can be "based".
@@mcboat3467 ECR is anti russian.
@@oloplyflapdar7384 Merkel CDU was center-left on most issues. Current CDU is... irrelevant because talk is cheap when you represent the opposition.
We really have to stop calling policies that were considered centrist a few decades ago “far right”
The EU leaders may be forced to change directions in the short term but unless you change the people in charge they will revert to their old ways as soon as the pressure lets up. The EU needs leaders that support the nations of the EU and its peoples without having to be coerced into it.
when people change, the market and the politicians follow.
Whenever someone says “far right”, I raise my eyebrows. There obviously is such a thing as “far right”, but whenever the media uses this term, it’s usually using it incredibly loosely.
There are literal neo-nazis running for office, so there is definitely a far right
“Far right”, just like “Fascism” became buzzwords of the center-left media. People are quick to label those they deem “rightward” of themselves (and thus ‘evil’) with these terms, without any ability to concretely define them. Language’s primary purpose is to communicate, not obfuscate. That doesn’t mean that some within these “far right” parties don’t have authoritarian or undemocratic ambitions hidden away from view. But people seem to conveniently forget that these practices aren’t exclusive to what is commonly perceived as “the right”. Moral of the story: if someone wants to paint whatever group as somehow radical, they likely want to radicalize you against that specific group. A sad reality of the media
you mean the actual neo-fascists parties
Yeah no it’s usually pretty accurate (at least in france)
@@rweebrommel3998 there are real far-right neo-nazis who masquerade as populists
So to be frank, its about Islam.
it's about all the trash, not only islam!
Yes, why is Europe so welcoming of slam?
screw you, its about racists political parties who refuse to acknowledge that for integration you need to be compassionate, who refuse to adopt sensible policies but demand harsh punishments.
@@hydoffdhagaweyne1037 Leftist.. the ones with low self conscious..
@hydoffdhagaweyne1037 being Christian calls you to love thy neighbor, with most denominations agreeing neighbor means everyone. Sadly, this can be done poorly, or be taken advantage of. (I am not trying to say Christians are perfect here, just a perspective)😊
Bro Scotland is still part of the United Kingdom.
Is it the same guy making the maps for all RUclipsrs? We are labelled "England" after 1707 and now we are Scotland despite being part of Britain since 1708 currently still.
Right, we'll change that.

Bring birth rates up, not immigrants
Easier said than done. Look at Japanese government doing everything they can to bring birth rates up. The policies still seem to have no success.

🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
00:00 *🗳️ Right-wing Surge in European Elections*
- The 2024 European Parliament elections saw a significant rise in right-wing parties, particularly in Italy, France, and Germany.
- This shift was reflected in the media, which used terms like "Europe turning right" and "radical turn," with comparisons to past fascist and Nazi regimes.
01:38 *🏛️ European Parliament's Power and Structure*
- The European Parliament, with 720 members, plays a key role in passing directives related to trade, environment, agriculture, immigration, and more.
- Members are elected by each member state based on population size, with Germany having the most seats.
03:26 *📊 Shifting Political Balance*
- The traditional liberal coalition in the European Parliament, comprising the center-right, centrist, socialist, and green parties, lost seats.
- Right-wing and far-right parties, particularly the Identity and Democracy group, gained significant ground, raising concerns about a rightward shift in European politics.
04:51 *🇫🇷 National Rally's Victory and Implications*
- Marine Le Pen's National Rally party achieved a resounding victory in the French elections, winning 31% of the vote and 30 seats.
- The party's rise is attributed to a shift in public sentiment and a successful effort to moderate its image.
06:11 *🗳️ Early Elections in France and Germany*
- The success of Le Pen's National Rally prompted French President Emanuel Macron to call for snap elections, aiming to mobilize moderate voters against the far right.
- Similar calls for early elections were made in Germany, fueled by the rise of the AfD party.
11:48 *🗺️ The Left's Decline and the Rise of the Right*
- The shift to the right is attributed to the left's embrace of identity politics and wokeness, which alienated some voters.
- Migration policies, seen as a solution to demographic problems, led to internal destabilization and fueled nationalistic sentiment.
13:36 *🌎 Geopolitical Challenges and European Stability*
- Global events like the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza, and tensions in Taiwan have created a sense of uncertainty and instability in Europe.
- These challenges have highlighted the need for effective leadership and a clear plan for the future.
14:44 *🚨 European Union’s Future Challenges*
- The European Union faces critical challenges, including energy and climate policy, competition with China, and the war in Ukraine.
- The rise of right-wing parties raises questions about the future of the EU and its ability to navigate these challenges.
17:17 *🧩 The EU's Modus Operandi*
- The EU needs to find a new approach and a fresh start to address its internal challenges and remain relevant on the global stage.
- The EU must overcome internal divisions and find a way to work effectively together to address the challenges it faces.

I might have missed something, but why are there russian flags in Ukraine along the western borders?
I think most people expect Ukraine to either fall or for Putin to be couped if he fails. Also I think it represents that Ukraine still has Russian troops their.

I aided you 😮😅😂
Great video!
Brilliant documentary as usual
Amazing documentary. Well edited and narrated. Interesting to watch. Tnx 4sharing. Watching from DUBAI ❤
This turn to the right is not a turn towards Russia.
That's why AfD gets money from Russia
A turn back towards russian gas is a turn towards saving european industry. So it will happen, sooner or later
@@tobia5267they've already shifted their infrastructure away from Russia. Beyond that, the Russians clearly can't be trusted to provide gas consistently during geopolitical turmoil. Ukrainian gas and American LNG have become the better option.
In France yes, same thing with a turn to the far left ...
Hope you're right. A few of those right wing parties are definitely more friendly with Russia
I'm still glad that Hubert's back
I'm commander Shepard, and this is my favorite channel on the RUclips.
No jokes.
Great videos , thank you
Beautiful quality
@GoodTimesBadTimes Marine Lepen seems to have resolved the issue of finance with the help of Bollore. There's an article saying he's behind the Ciotti move, and now the RN wants to privatise national broadcast operator. Sounds like quid pro quo.
Great video! As a person from the US, this video really sheds a lot of light on the nature of the EU.
An Ideal Party would:
1. Stop mass migration.
2. Bring up the birth rates.
3. Support Ukraine.
4. Oppose dictatorships.
5. Support the green transition while fomenting local manufacturing of solar panels, batteries and everything electronic.
6. Understand that in the case of war, relying on fossil fuel makes you weaker not stronger.
Fascist, so
@casteretpollux there's nothing fascist about this. Are you insane?
Anti mass immigration and pro ecology
Whats your Argument for 6.? Decentrelization?
@@derherredur4468decentralization or at least moving away from non allied suppliers sounds like a good idea
12:08 you mentioned that left parties drove the open immigration policy.
However, at least in Germany, the Merkel Government was mainly responsible for “opening” up the border. Merkels party is more center right.
Both left and right governments do what they have to do to honor international agreements and keep the economies going. Populists love to complain about it because it gets them votes, but they don't have a secret recipe how to do it differently.
Interesting take! Never thought about it that way.😮
good job
At 13:21 the Polish sounding narrator basically says that left-wing governments lead to Bad Times through mismanagement, and the right-wing governments lead to Good Times through responsible governance. Perhaps this is the inspiration for the name of this channel.
Not really, as always, it is about a proper balance.
Good times, bad times
Probably the best analysis of the European parliament elections and European politics more generally that I have come across.
Thank you .
thanks for a much better analysis than the headline news.
Good
The political situation in Europe ultimately boils down to one key issue: mass illegal immigration supported by the state.
Here in the UK a lot of people would vote a 9 year old into office if they could guarantee they would close the border.
Control of the border takes more brains than an open border?
The UK should build a wall
lol you realise the torys have been trying to "close the border" as you say for years now, the problem is you can't actually "close" a non-physical border. Even in the US, Trump tried to build a wall across his land border and what happened? Firstly, it was incredibly expensive to even try to buil a wall across the whole length of the land, secondly there were many physical/ecological/infrastructure challenges to building this much infrastructure, and thirdly migrants almost immediately started finding ways to bypass the border, from bringing a ladder to climb across to literally sawing off parts of the wall. So what exactly do you expect the UK to do about it, as an island nation that can't even build walls across its entire border as that would have to be right along the coastline?? Literally fly migrants back out to another country, at ridiculous cost to the taxpayer? Lol they tried that too, it's still nowhere near a workable long-term solution.
All conservatives love to talk about stopping immigration, they just don't want to realise that you can't physically do that, it doesn't matter how "tough on migration" you act. Your "best" bet would be regularly bombing/poisoning the entire border area in hopes it will kill every migrant, which I'm sure many in the far right would be perfectly ok with, but it's still not doable even if they don't care about it being genocidal and evil, due to causing ecological issues (affecting food supply), bringing indirect harm to your own population and imports/exports, not to mention cost, etc.. Beyond that, all you can hope to do is help improve conditions in the countries of origin so that fewer people will be so desperate to migrate, but no one wants to pay for that kind of charity either.
So good luck finding a way of stopping migration! No one in all of history has been able to crack it yet, but I'm sure the next anti-intellectual strongman politician will figure it out in no time!
How many children do you have mate. I hope you have at least 4. WE CANNOT AFFORD NOT HAVING IMMIGRANTS FOR FUCK SAKE
Easily the best video discussing the eu that I have seen
We are so back
There’s hope you yet, Europe!
This video is more a testament to
the author‘s own negative views on immigration and european liberal mechanics than it is in-depth or balanced.
Yup,,he seems to find that migrants suddenly came to his country without any reason. People from Saudi, Qatar, uae don't do mass migration to Europe. It doesn’t matter what places r we from People want stability. But when we invade middle east, we should expect some negative impact on us. But there is mention of warlike colonial mentality of Europe in his video. All he talks about migrants and liberals in a biased manner

Immigration is such a problem for Europe same with the US but a but less so in the US. As a non European who has traveled there Its actually terrifying and sad to think about going back, I see France and all I see is basically an Arab slum there are so many Arabs on the streets it feels like a bazaar in Syria, In Italy there are so many African men just rolling around in gangs on the street homeless causing a ruckus, in places like Germany, Ireland, and Sweden and especially the UK it feels like you're in Mecca with the amount of mosques and Muslims praying in the streets its honestly Orwellian. Europeans are losing their identity and you cant blame them for wanted to do something about it. There is one thing I never understood with the EU however, why do they allow so much immigration from the middle east and Africa primarily Muslims who they literally were fighting for over 1000 years as if that was going to be a positive thing? They are not the US they don't need to try to be a melting pot they history is much different than the US its very Odd in my opinion. Other nations like China, Japan take pride in their ethnicity and culture and try to protect it the EU does not do that.
WOW ,that level, ,.
exponential.
in the case of germany: AFD isn´t really far right. its more like center-right. far less right than the france or italian right party.
But germany is far more sensitive to these topics and probably would have already banned all these european parties if they were german.
Calling AFD radicals is really strange to me.
@Njordin2010 Didn't thet AFD want to deport foreign born german citizens?!
They need immigration, and immigration is not a bad thing, it's amazing, it's one of the main benefits of the EU itself, the problem arises when you get illegal immigrants in mass from Islamic countries! You can get legal, civilized, educated, peacful immigrants from all over the world, from China to south America to even non Muslim parts of Africa. Even in the case of Islamic countries, you can stil get good people from there too, don't be anti immigrants, be anti bad immigrants
Adhering to nazi ideology isn't exactly center right.
When you say far right, I hear anti globalist
when you write anti globalist, i read anti corporate elitist, but looking at the americans thinking that such a tycoon is their best champion, im starting to think of the ways we're being played yet again.
When hear far-right, I hear Putin boot licker. I have no idea why they go together.
@@Qnexus7 Damn man, truth!
in europe that connection is pretty questionable since Europe is so globalist and "anti-globalist" usually a pro-economy stance so right wing and even far right groups often advocate for strengthening the economy which means more foreign business. Hell, Europe moreso then Asia or the Americas has historically relied on overseas business more then most other parts of the globe. Some of their largest companies do almost all their business outside of Europe and make massive profits by doing things like taking Africa chocolate and Brazilian sugar to make chocolate in Mexico so they can sell it across the Americas to bring profits back to Europe, exploiting slave plantations in Africa and slave like wages in Latin America to keep costs low and profits high. Europe's high wages mean a TON of business is financially impractical so they outsource it the same way they did under the old colonial model which never really went away but just got rebranded as "free trade with our partners in the developing world". Ending globalism would affect Europe more then just about anyone else, probably even more then the US
Good information! Now all you need to find is good content. Honestly this was a wasted opportunity with all the other stuff that is happening rightnow.

Non-aligned parties had the biggest win. I flipped from environmentalists to non-aligned. Because the environmentalists are just as centrist as the rest. The alt-right is just the mirror picture on the other isle. We all have enough of mainstream talk, no do politics.
11:59 fear, mortality salience
It has gotten that bad,,,
One of the major problem is that populist “goals” and “policies” + who they blame are simplistic and easy to communicate, but don’t actually help. Meanwhile, actual solutions and the reasons for issues are complex and difficult to explain to the average voter. So, progressive parties are always starting from a disadvantage. Finally, Russian and Chinese misinformation campaigns have been extremely successful. However, progressives need to realize that basically 90% or citizens in every country want to stop immigration. So, they must move to the right on certain policies like that AND many have.
Edit: I see you cited that exact issue (immigration).
What ur saying is fax. And lefties are kinda catching on. They are now talking about a "fair" immigration policy. But many see it and defeat or don't trust them. The worst part is just that I see now how easily people fall for the dumbest shit possible. I used to look back on historical events and think that couldn't possibly happen again bc everyone is smart now... I just got a fat reality check after the EU elections. People are sheep. They would rather lose all their rights than care to read into politics. The truth is that the average AFD supporter doesn't care about most things. They see some rage bait on Facebook or tick-tock and vote. 0 thoughts. It's not that 17% of Germany hate Jews and deny the holocaust but they just don't care to research what they are voting for.
the progressives must also get back at talking about workers, conditions of living and working, quality of life and such. oh yeah and some contrasting the abuse of the system, both of power and regulation, by the hyper corporations wouldn't be bad.
Exactly. Being the opposition is much easier. You can just blame the party in power and place blame on the "other" (immigrants) for all the woes without having to offer concrete policy solutions. Blaming immigrants isn't a policy-stance; it's just fear-mongering to the lowest common denominator, and that's why theyve been successful.
You can see how Meloni had to almost immediately moderate her stance and the parties in her coalition as soon as they were actually the majority. And have they "solved" the immigration crisis in Italy? No. Why? Because that's difficult to actually implement and takes time and multiple policies. There is no easy solution.
This is like Caspian report but better 🔥
When talking about the supra-national political groups at the European Parliament call them political groups. They are not parties. You just confuse people when you inappropriately call them parties.
The UK goes left instead, great
Campaign finances, no better place to start to build your ownership of politicians and political parties. All politicians should receive a small stipend for advertising with no private money allowed. Newspapers and stations should have to give equal time and time slots to all candidates in a particular area.

Thanks for being based as always
nobody mentions belgium where PS lost to MR in walonia and VB became the second all round party after NVA which is right wing as well, VB didn't take the expected nr 1 place (sadly) but they are stronger than ever and NVA simple took votes from the establishment parties that suffered greatly

What map is that at 15 minutes?
Russian (or rather "Z") Socialist Federated Soviet Republic no longer exists, but it seems to have succeeded where Putler is failing, since on this map the Z Socialist Federation has absorbed Ukraine which is completely missing.
Europe needs strong leaders, not weak pathetic leaders who are unwilling and unable to do anything... This is true for both EU countries and non EU countries in general. Otherwise Europe will continue to fade into irrelevancy as it has been the past 30 years...
why do you call afd far right?
I don't like the thumbnail for this video at all. Why are you implying that Ukraine has already fallen to russian hordes?
Relax you peasant it's a thumbnail not a matter of fact.
Europe needs to stand up for itself.
1. End neoliberalism invest in their citizens not just market
2. Limit migration into the block
3. Broker peace between Ukraine and Russia
4. Raise a European armed force to replace NATO
5. Add Nuclear energy to green portfolio
If putin thinks europe doesnt want to support ukraine anymore he is just more likely to push harder, hard to broker peace like that. And getting out of NATO, would also just encourage more russian aggression especially in the baltics. agree with point 1,2 and 3 tho.
@@captainalex157 agree in principle but you have to acknowledge that NATO in Ukraine was the red line, publicly stated at security conference in 07 and we agreed. I don’t think a homegrown EU security pact would have pushed arms as far as Georgia it’s not in our interest. I also don’t think they want to push into Europe as they were making money with us which, annoyed the guys across the pond who have been selling energy to the countries with deficits since the pipeline went
@@infosuge medvedev and Putin both said the baltics and poland are russian territory, just what they said before invading Ukraine, lets not kid ourselves there is a real risk. You seem to assume Russia wouldnt have invaded if ukraine didnt have NATO talks, which is doubtful. They always saw it as russian territory, it was likely just a matter of time and opportunity. Also are you suggesting that the US is more at fault for the invasion than Russia? Weird how so many people treat russia like some animal thats not as responsible for its actions as everyone else.
And if Russia cared mopre about trade with europe then annexing its neighbors they wouldnt have rolled tanks into ukraine in the first place.
@@captainalex157 Russia is responsible for its actions, but this is not some a random act of aggression, what would they gain from Ukrainian they have plenty of land this is about security. You seem to ignore US has history of overthrowing foreign governments ensuring their interests in that state/region. Putin has no interest in Poland they cannot go that far, I don’t buy this he’s evil wants to conquer Europe narrative, their concern is Russia and nations on its border as any super power would. I think they wanted unrestricted access to the Black Sea and will push unfriendly back over the Carpathian Mountains to narrow their borders. Ukraine had a Russian friendly govt until 2014 and then there was a “revolution” in which actual fascist (andriy parubiy) took over the country, armed and trained by US.
So yes he’s gone too far and this should never have happened, but there is truth on both sides and this can only end in negotiations. I worry that Europe turning nationalists is similar play as Ukraine. Patriots make for good cannon fodder
Immigration has nothing at all to do with the EU. Every member state has the power and responsibility to deal with that by themselves. Do not hang problems on the EU that they are not in any way responsible for.
_Bump_
The Labor Party here in Norway is going to die out, after having been leading since 1945, if they don't take a common "viewpoint" on the immigration question. All over in Europe, in the largest cities that is most commonly known as "European", now Europeans are in a minority. If landlords are not controlled, but start selling ancient farmland, like the one my own family have been "plowing" with a shovel, in the steep hills, since the time of the Black Death, the future of Europe is going to be an enormous Balkan, where one valley is living in undying hatred toward the people in the other valleys that have another culture and languguage and religion. I'm genuinely fearful of all of this, if something is not done to stop the naive trend of "multiculturalism" that have completely failed in so many ways. And the old "race card" simply won't do anymore. It's about peoples right for a sovereign state with other people of their own ethnicity.
So is anything non-Left just assumed to be "Far Right"? Or am I missing something?
Yes
Bro, he didn't include the CDU and the CDU is center right.
Mate these are for all intents and purposes far right. And yet they won't be able to come true to their immigration rubbish because they'd literally make our economy implode. Europe is usually called the old continent, which particularly applies to its citizens since the average and median age keeps going up and is only kept down somewhat down by immigration since we don't have kids. And no, government programs won't fix shit as the past 50 years of government incentives has shown.
Everything who does not support Ukraine is instant Pro Russian. No neutral no middile.
500 when media and everything else are run by industri 😢
Nationalism is patriotism : love your country and your people regardless of ethnics origin against traitors with the effects of refugee espionage on the EU´s racial biological experiment in its slave and human trafficking with the mixing of migrants entitled or not entitled to individual asylum protection needs according to the Geneva Convention assessment 1951 .
This to be quite frankly is not such a good analysis. Yes migration is absolutely one of the major parts but not only, just mentioning energy policy, foreign policy blunders, deglobalization, population collapse, debt, low consumption, growing safety problem, plus institutional ineptitude like dealing with Hungary is not enough. They are just as much as migration as why problems in Europe will grew in future
Migration is not a competency of the European Union. Immigration and asylum seekers are 100% decided by the member states themselves. Do not hang member state problems on the EU, that is what lead to Brexit.
why do you always specify "far-right," but not once did you say far-left. You just always say left. Why is that?
Probably because left wing extremism is not on the rise these days but right wing is?
There's no communist in government anywhere in Europe. The radical left is the smallest group in the European Parliament and they keep shrinking, and even those MEPs are mostly a buch of 20th century style social democrats that don't classify as far left
He spent the entire video making his support for the right clear. And that’s the detail that you pick out???
What the fuck is a far-left? I know we have a party that praises SS officers and denies the holocaust in Germany (AFD). That's the very definition of far-right. What would the left equivalent be? OMG, THEY WANT TO ALLOW PROFESSORS TO GENDER WORDS IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT!?!?!?! FAR-LEFT!!!!
Because the far left is irrelevant 🤷♂️ simple as that
THE GREAT REPLACEMENT IS REAL
No it's not
It is just European democracy. People are getting tired of old establishments and chooses new ones which right now are on far right spectrum. When they will be fed up with them people again will turn to the lefts.
And we already see it in Scandinavia.
Therefore you are mistaking primarily the France's and Germany's trend with overall European trend.

Barely touched the migrant issue in Europe
love how you are only blaming 'the left' for the failure of immigration. Even while the governments were being led by non left wing parties. CDU allowed the people into germany and the VVD is the one who required migrants to figure out how to learn dutch all by themselves. (without the government providing info, help or anything in something else than dutch).
why do we keep letting these ruling parties get away with blaming the 'dangerous ideological left'
CDU had a big move to the left while Angela Merkel, a former socialist / leftist, was in power.
Bro, it's frustrating i know.... I genuinely think Europe is done for. Europeans actually think the left has any real significance on the state of affairs. There isn't even a significant left in Europe. Right-wing ideology is spreading all over Europe, yet Europeans don't even recognize that. I find that wild.
At this point, "the left" in Europe is like a boogeyman that doesn't even exist.
Because European "conservatives" are leftists driving the speed limit towards dystopia.
Britian leave the EU and now the EU decides to do ehat Britain eanted crazy.
It is not out of love for Razzhia the EU is turning right, its Islam so do not look for friends here Igor.
I’ve been to Ukraine several times. It is astonishing how Crimean Islam and diverse Christianity manage to live together peacefully.
I even heard from one of Crimean tatars that there is no big difference between their religions. This is the only Islam I support.
@@pavlovalorthis is the same most places, its a handful of tyranical islamic countries made to be the face of all islam that give them this perception inthe west. Islam is spread over most of north africa, the middle east, Eurasia up to russia and over to india and china and the most populous area is malaysia - indonesia. These countries have widely different perspectives on their islamic faith than what westerners are taught. In fact nearly every islamic country has large populations of both radical traditionalists and progressive reformers just like christianity.
@@sookendestroy1no it's not maybe only turkey, the liberals are minority in many islamic countries.
Serbs tried to eradicate Islam from Bosnia by committing genocide on Bosniaks. Are you suggesting the same? Because you know what happened to those who orchestrated the Bosnian genocide?

The heart and centre of Western civilization. That is what we should strive to be. A new cultural and societal renaissance for our people.
lol. You'll get McDonalds and you'll like it!
@KarlFranz5017 Heart of a failing civilization. What I mean is a renewal of said civilization. Stop mass immigration, deport the illegals, promote native births, Western cultural revival. That sorts of things.
Assuming somebody does not take the stand to fix the problem, yes all civilizations rise and fall, but for the average Asian, Russia is in the larger West, it is filled with white people and Christians,
But ROME was split into 2 parts, the Western and Eastern provinces with the Western Empire breaking apart into smaller states while the Eastern Roman Empire, Romanion by them at the time or Byzantium by the Greeks fell to the Ottomans, after many years of stagnation, plagues and even being betrayed by there own Christian allies,
There has never been a greater attempt to unify Europe since the times of either Charlemagne or Napoleon Bonaparte, but Macron is neither, don't get me wrong the sword has reigned for over 1000 years it will still reign, but a united European Republic will not happen in my lifetime,

The European Union is an intergovernmental treaty organisation and as such it is governed by the Commission to which each member state governing party sends one commissioner to act on their behalf.
The European Parliament has very little power. It can not initiate policy but only accept or reject policy initiated by the Commission.
The elections to the European Parliament is very much treated by voters as a forum to express their views on domestic matters. Politicians campaigning for a seat in the parliament do so to a very large degree on issues where the EU have no competency at all. The result of the election for the Parliament have almost no bearing at all on how the EU operates and it has also very little resemblance of how voters vote in domestic elections.
This entire video is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Europe is facing so many problems and witnessing the rise of far right because of liberalism. Liberalism always enables fascism.
I respect the work you’re doing and greatly appreciatie your in-depth analyses. In this video I was shocked by the biased take on the root of the EU’s problems from 12:02. Like we’re now blaming the left-wing parties and migrants for what is going wrong in the EU? I can’t understand why you chose to parrot far-right talking points here. Sure the asylum system isn’t great, but that’s because we cut back on the funding for this system. Asylum seekers aren’t allowed to work in the Netherlands, or do anything for that matter. You mention nothing about all the other cuts and liberalizations that have happend for the past decades, especially since the EU crisis, that have led to increasing housing costs, healthcare becoming too expensive and underperforming, public transport disappearing… and I can go on... all carried out by neoliberal parties. Then right-wing parties came along and blamed the immigrants, causing the polarisation we’re seeing today and leading people to think that all their problems will be fixed once we close our borders. And now you’re telling me that you are copying this narrative too? So much for unbiased, informative media… I really held you in high regard, but now I’m just very disappointed…
There are far right parties also in national parliaments, so off course there will also be in EU Parliament.
But the far-right euro-sceptics still only hold about 156 seats of 720. I think to many media is doing these parties a great service by describing this election as almost a far-right tsunami. It was not. And it is still so, that many voters dont regard the EU elections as as important as national elections, meaning they either stay at home or see it as an opportunity to vent frustration with national politics.
The EU executive and parliament need more power so that it can act more strongly. Currently, it is too easy for individual member nations to delay or outright block too many issues. Making the EU weaker will make it perceived as less useful, which feeds into a protracted Eurosceptic narrative which will expand.
Tbh, the best thing they could do is to let the Commission be elected by direct vote from each nation, and then the parliament and the council can negotiate who gets which portfolio including president. That way, a massive gap in legitimacy would be overcome.

In the case of Italy it should be noted that Brothers of Italy (FdI) gained 14 seats, while the Lega lost 14 seats. Realistically speaking, the votes within the right have shifted around, not the whole country.

Political spectrum is not moving right in Slovakia... it is moving to the left there. SMER is socialist party, PS (Progressive Slovakia) is center left and HLAS is also socialist party. These 3 parties have by far the largest share of seats in both national and European parliament. Candidate of HLAS even won presidential elections against center-right candidate. Right wing parties shrunk by a large margin. Slovakia is sadly moving left.
I wouldn’t link immigration with wokeness. At the peak of the migrant crisis it wasn’t a thing in Europe. It did contribute to the right-wing backlash in the more recent years
With the turn right i can see the war in Ukraine being abandoned and tensions rising between countries within the EU. Isolationism is gonna start to rise again, the green/clean project is dead etc.
isolationism rears its head from time to time, but is rarely ever the majority opinion. isolationism is usually confined to the more rightwing and leftwing ends of the spectrum, while the majority who sit somewhere in the middle (center-left to center-right) arent isolationist because they understand that folly.
It feels like immigration is becoming a core issue in the world. I think this was inevitable as climate change increases the areas of the world that will feel the most stress are the poorest areas. Those people will want to flee to the rich areas which will threaten to overwhelm them culturally and economically.
Those who say that everyone has value will struggle to square that with limiting immigration. It also means that the public will demand some true attrocities in other countries as the public forces the government to just let people die abroad.
I fear for the kind of morality that this will create in the population.
Our generation has had enough. We won’t hurt ourselves to take in even more migrants. Put the people here FIRST. Every country has to do that for its citizens, not our responsibility to take care of China/Middle East/Africa/etc citizens
To keep it simple, Its about Arabs and Muslims.
We go to their country to invade and when fire reaches us suddenly we r blameless and Muslims share all the blame, the hypocrisy is astonishing
Importing invasive species is often bad for the native ecosystem.
Why did Germany and France have to take in hundreds of thousand of refugees from Iraq for example, when Poland and Ukraine was part of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, yet they haven't taken in any, especially Poland who refuses. Was Poland nothing more than a lapdog / opportunist? Do you also understand why countries in the middle east support Russia instead of Poland or Ukraine?
Humans are one species. Social-Darwinism is dumb.

AFD isn´t really far right. its more like center-right. far less right than the france or italian right party.
But germany is far more sensitive to these topics and probably would have already banned all these european parties if they were german.
Calling AFD radicals is really strange to me.
well germany should be far more concerned over islam as it is the biggest far right ideology out there.
Bullshit. LePen and Meloni are not close to be as right wing as the afd. Get your facts straight
funny calling anything center to right leaning is not far right keep your propaganda you useful gyom
There is no far right in germany 😭
If this is ironic id like to remind you that AFD: openly denies holocaust, hates on Jews, praises the SS and talks about limiting press freedom. Is that like center to you?
Bro forgot about the AFD
