I am wondering:
Since there is rising fascism in the US (trump, desantis etc.) and similar stuff in germany, what is going on in other countries?
Does anyone know of regional or national rise in specifically anti-migrant notions, laws targeting migrants or a shift in rhetoric towards blaming outsiders for problems? I am specifically asking about non-US and non-german regions.
@stargazer Hmm yes, Poland and Italy seem to have been a bit ahead. Slovakia i had not heard about, thank you for the info.
What's up with Hungary?
@admitsWrongIfProven Hungary is currently ruled by Viktor Orban
@stargazer Ok, also ahead of the curve then:
> in 2010, Viktor Orbán's national-conservative Fidesz party was elected to a parliamentary supermajority.
@admitsWrongIfProven Yes - and since Orban took over the EU realized painfully that is not a good idea to only have conditions for becoming a member and no mechanism for how to kick somebody out again when they violate rules after gaining membership...
@admitsWrongIfProven France, too. For example, the minister of interior has been a fash since 2020 (and he explicitly said that expulsions of immigrants are a good thing); the current government is being waaay to friendly with the fucking RN party and largely responsible for their rise and normalization (many start seeing a RN presidency in 2027 as inevitable). Far right protests are being pampered while left protests are being either forbidden or brutally stifled.
@toybox The parallels are disturbing, especially with the "middle" normalizing the right.
Thank you for your input!
@admitsWrongIfProven Hungary, Italy, previoulsy Poland, Slovakia (a 'lfetist' new Prime Minister who campaigned on no more military aid for Ukraine and being tough on migration)...
