 rise of anti-establishment parties across Europe as governments have struggled to deal with crises including the Ukraine war and inflation.

anti-establishment voices in the 60s were called hippies

now they're called far-right

They both want the same thing, peace.

The commonality is that if you ever support peace, you'll be anti-establishment.

The far-right groups are on the rise in Europe contained for the time being.

Oooooh, the "far-right"! The left and establishment are petrified of losing power after years of disastrous economic and social policies. Ordinary Germans have had enough of losing their safety and economic security, especially those in the eastern part of the country. But as the left and the establishment have run out of ideas and/or are unwilling to change, they instead try to gaslight the public by tarring their opponents with the spectre of the scumbags from nearly a century ago. Fewer and fewer people are falling for it, though, and the AfD will continue to build support over the coming years.

What would any incompetent, self-righteous government do in this situation? Why, try to ban their opponents, of course. Heaven forbid they try to fix the problem they had a major hand in creating.

Well, said.

The globalist left will always call you a racist because you are against migration from people that don't want to be there, hate you or are trying to push their religious ideology on you. You are intolerant if you want to uphold your traditions, values and culture, the problem is worsening, it is not getting better and it won't as long as these left politicians remain in power, the right will eventurally win if this contines. Poland and Hungary saw the writing on the wall and want no part of it and they are right.

You MAGA will witness the legal retribution, especially you sympathetic to racist trash in Europe

The elites? Well, yes

According to some this would mean a third of the voters are facist Neo Nazi thugs. The reason for the rise in these parties needs to be looked at rather than just calling them names as if in the school playground.

6 out of 10 serious violent crimes in Germany are now committed by immigrants

Immigrants make up 15% of Germany and commit 41% of crimes.

Of the 20% (16.3 million) people with immigrant backgrounds, 3.0 million (3.7%) had Turkish, 1.5 million (1.9%) Polish, 1.2 million (1.5%) Russian, and 0.85 million (0.9%) Italian background.

Germany: Crime statistics and migration

https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/51931/germany-crime-statistics-and-migration

 Foreigners, meaning any non-German citizen, accounted for a vastly disproportionate percentage of all criminal suspects, at 41.1%, up from 37.4% in 2022, and 33.8% the year before. On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of victims, 75%, were German citizens.

"Far-right state win shakes Germany's fragile coalition."

The headline is designed to make you cringe. German is for Germans, their politics, their rules.

Looks like the Germans are waking up. Hope its not too late.

Bass...

Poland and Hungary saw the writing on the wall and want no part of it and they are right.

Poland rejected immigration from countries of one religion. They have yet to have a single "Islamist " inspired terror attack. Could just be a coincidence. Immigration is fine if YOU choose who come in.

You should choose carefully and the Polish don’t play when it comes to the border.

This is how you do it.

"If there is no political implementation, no real changes, no reforms, voters can say the political process has been hijacked by the elites," said political scientist Oliver Lembcke at the University of Bochum. "It's a vicious circle."

It is indeed and the playbook of authoritarian regime in history.

not surprise to me that Ossies dislike illegal scientists and rocket engineers from Africa and Middle East,Afghanistan,Pakistan etc...

this is just beginning.

if Scholz will do nothing abt illegal immigration and crimes,AfD will grow much faster...

With the AfD it's not only just illegal immigrants, it's all who are not "true Germans." Where have I heard that before? The Aryan Nation.

"Klein accused the AfD of condoning antisemitism and backing forces that have sought to downplay the Holocaust — the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews or two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population — during World War II."

German AfD: Revival of far-right a 'threat to Jewish life'

True, but they're not going to round up other Christians and send them on their way, but they do want to protect their culture, and nothing wrong, illegal, or immoral about that, at least it is within the context of dealing with other Christian nations.

"Klein accused the AfD of condoning antisemitism and backing forces that have sought to downplay the Holocaust — the Nazi genocide of 6 million Jews or two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population — during World War II."

Some people will believe that people will believe that Castro was a decent man.

I seriously doubt that, but as far as the Muslim threat is concerned, absolutely.

They reject all immigrants. They are not usually Christians.

Do you not believe antisemitism commissioner Felix Klein?

So you do not accept the DW article and Germany's antisemitism commissioner?

A far-right threat to Muslim life? You cool with that?

The other way around.

Of course you are.

Why would I be?

But at least it's their own country, bottom line, it's worse when you have migrant groups or Muslims that demand things be done their way and dictating to the host nation and putting demands on them how their worldview should be viewed.

The globalist establishment's lame slur of 'populist' had to be ditched because it fell flat, largely because ordinary people outside the weird elite bubble couldn't see what was wrong about being a populist. The globalists then had to wheel out the nuclear option, 'far right', accompanied by headlines such as 'first far right XX since World War II', implying ham-fistedly that these people were nothing but fully signed up members of the NSDAP. This won't work either; the elite is utterly out of touch and refuse to acknowledge that they themselves have created this reaction by flooding Europe and America with migrants and labelled anyone who demurred as racist, far-right, xenophobic knuckle-draggers. Too late: the game is up. We've seen through the brainwashing and the agenda.
