Bucharest has snatched the Dan of the EU’s Pro Mayor Nikuoor Conquest Last week from the jaw of Romania’s presidentialist George Simian, Romania’s presidential election. European leaders celebrated. Since the collapse of Communism, Dan will follow Romania in Democratic, EU, NATO. Simian would take it to a gaar place on the opposite side, so it is better for Romania and Europe to lose it.

But GangWho is forbidden to enter Ukraine or Moldova, he still won by a significant 46 percent vote. He is down but not outside. Unless Dan could not introduce the ambitious reformist government in parliament, the second largest Simeon and its party will gain the power of uninterrupted political turmoil, necessary harsh system and public hatred with the parties of selfish organizations.

Romania is part of a big European story. Distant Door hammer Power Austria and the Netherlands and the nationalist Conservative Georgia in Meloni have been practically operating in Italy so far. Radical right parties have been ranked second in several others, especially Germany and recently in Portugal. Being Trump has not been proven to be a political responsibility of Europe in Canada or Australia.

The next test for the Pro-EU mainstream is the second round Poland’s presidential electionThe next Sunday. If Nororoki defeated Center-Rafa Trazaskovsky, he could block the Coalition Government’s efforts to restore judicial independence and other democratic reforms if Nororoki defeated the Center-Dan Rafa Trazaskovsky. The government may be at risk of survival.

Poland also depicts another annoying feature of the strict rights of Europe: can attract more extreme without resisting voters. Two candidates have surpassed Noraki Right In the first round, by arguing that PIS was very high in the team. They won 21 percent of the combined. Austria’s Freedom Party (FPE) won Last year’s election And Option for Germany (AFD) Second has arrived After receiving the “Remigration” in February, or sending immigrants and even citizens back to their source country.

Some reasonable that sharing the responsibilities of power to the radical right parties can reduce their anti -establishment appeal. It has worked in some degrees in Nordic countries, but Austria is a strong counter example. Some groups like AFD and FPA Leaders Herbert There are many threats for democratic rules and laws for the rules of law for being empowered by mainstream coalition partners.

Many mainstream conservative groups have tried to accept hard-right challengers by duping. It does not work, especially when imitation is mostly adorned. Voters like the root. However, it is foolish to think that voters’ concerns can be explained without addressing. Anxiety on uncontrollable immigration is an obvious example.

With epidemic, high inflation and war, the last five years have become Bananaja for the people of Europe. These reasons will be abolished, but the anti -organization anger is here to stay here, driven by the details of the elite treachery. This is in more cases because the constituency and wide alliances are needed to operate.

With the help of social media, the populists of Europe have graduated in polarization, simplification and condemnation. Moderate parties need courageous policy -making, visible distribution and more forced personality to deal with them. Pluding Centrism will not do it. If they do not start supplying, the Rightwing Partys who have come for the second time may win the next time.
