At the beginning of 2022 we said that the centre-left was experiencing a resurgence. As the year has come to a close that trend looks to be changing, with right and far-right parties gaining leverage in Italy, Sweden, France, Hungary and more.

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

The EU has major issues. The open border policy, the open market to accept extreme immigration. The Arabs should never been allowed into Europe. They don't share the same values as normal cultures. They have been taking advantage of the system for years. I.E: In Greece which my family is from, Syrian "refugees" get free everything, yet every summer they go home to Syria to see their family!! That tells you all you need to know, just take that and go across all of Europe. Poland has there politics on straight and look they don't share the same issues as the rest of Europe.

lots of anti right will probably push back with the usual slanderous terms i.e racist, anti immigrant, dumb, uneducated instead of actually dissecting why this rise in the right is transpiring and I'm glad they'll resort to this 1 dimensional attitude as this problem gripping Europe will lead to some restoration of order that is in dire need.

In all honesty Angela Merkel is to blame for this lean to the right by the people in Europe.
She opened the floodgates of Europe to illegal immigrants, and this has pushed people to extremes.
Just look at the degradation of western society, mostly pushed by left wing ideology.
There is no stability in society anymore, it’s becoming unbearable for most people.
Extreme right and left scare me, they are opposite sides of the same coin.
Governments need to be balanced and fair.

@Sandev18
February 11, 2024 at 8:39 pm
As a non European my view on the question "Why Europe is turning into right-wing?" is immigrants.
Immigrants go to Europe and they continue to practice their native countries' cultures and habits in Europe, instead of getting used to the already existing culture of their new home. Also most of these immigrants still have their native countries in their hearts; with that, sometimes they get into fights with immigrants from other countries(eg: India v. Pakistan, India v. Khalistan, Israel v. Palestine, Russia v. Ukraine).

Well, well, well. It seems like some of our Eastern European friends have been sipping on a rather potent concoction of right-wing politics and Islamophobia. You know what they say, old habits die hard! With a dash of nationalism and a sprinkle of fear, these folks have managed to create quite the spectacle. Now, I'm not here to judge, but let's just say their voting choices seem about as surprising as finding ice in Antarctica. Perhaps they believe that by embracing right-wing parties and fanning the flames of Islamophobia, they can safeguard their culture and traditions from any potential threats. Or maybe they just love a little drama with their politics. Either way, grab your popcorn because this show is far from over!
