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.
@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)...
@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?
@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 Hungary is currently ruled by Viktor Orban
