Elections European parliamentary elections: What a right-wing surge could mean for the EU

[Fox by the Sea]

In all of EU there were 23.000 Uzbeki workers, 19.000 Moldovan workers in all of EU. Most of them are has been granted work visa because they have family living in the given countries.

But yeah, I am done with you guys. As I have said - you don't learn. Data means nothing to you. All you want is to blame others for your problems.

Sounds like good numbers. there's plenty more to come from other non-EU countries as needed. But you don't want to look at THOSE numbers cause you don't really care about the economy.

So kindly fuck off, you have already proven many times how much of a toxic dimwit you are.

Yeah, this is exactly the kind of stupidity rightwingers will say, because they are uneducated and, well, stupid.

" nearly one third of UK businesses are experiencing labour shortages after an increase in economic inactivity post-pandemic. The number of workers has declined by 545,000 in what has become known as 'The Great Resignation', a drop that has worsened inflation and limited public service funding."

But keep blaming everyone else. When you get immigration stopped, it will be what? the jews? when you get those removed, and the problems are still there, who will it be? The irish? the scots?

Rightwing thinking is always - "It is someone elses fault", and this will keep going untill there are 2 rightwingers left pointing fingers at eachother.

Bunch of fucking muppets.

That's because we allow people to choose benefits as a lifestyle choice. Stop all immigrants, with the exception of those who can prove themselves to be highly trained professionals in STEM fields. Everyone else, immigrants already here and native born NEET's are given a simple choice: take whatever shitty job you are allocated. Or starve.

PS: if you are going to call Right-wingers stupid, you may want to check the spelling on your own posts.

A member of a German far-right party stabbed and wounded in another attack on a politician​

BERLIN (AP) — A member of a German far-right party was stabbed and wounded in the southwestern city of Mannheim, German news agency dpa reported Wednesday, only days after a knife attack killed one police officer and left five other people injured in the same city.

Dpa reported that a candidate with the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, reportedly caught somebody trying to tear down an election poster on Tuesday evening. When he confronted that person, he was attacked with a boxcutter. Dpa reported that the candidate was still in a hospital with non-life-threatening cuts.

The candidate, who was campaigning for Sunday’s local elections in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, where Mannheim is located, was not identified. The attacker was detained, dpa reported.

The mayor of Mannheim sharply condemned the attack.
“This cowardly act is despicable and cannot be justified by anything,” Christian Specht said. “Anyone who attacks election candidates is calling into question our free, equal, universal, direct and secret elections — and therefore the basis of our democracy.”

“The hatred and willingness to use violence that is currently taking hold in our society is intolerable,” he added.

Mannheim police said Wednesday that the detained suspect, a 25-year-old man who was not further identified, was later taken to a psychiatric hospital.

“According to the current state of the investigation, there are no concrete indications that the suspect recognized during the attack that the injured person was an AfD politician,” investigators said Wednesday, according to dpa.

On Friday, a 25-year-old Afghan man stabbed several members of a group that describes itself as opposing “political Islam.”

The group, Pax Europa, describes itself as an organization that informs the public about the dangers posed by the “increasing spread and influence of political Islam.” Michael Stuerzenberger, an anti-Islamist activist who is one of the group’s leading figures and has spoken at its events, was among those wounded.

The attacker was still in the hospital.

Tuesday’s attack is the latest in a series on politicians in the country that has raised concern over rising political violence in Germany.

Last month, Franziska Giffey, Berlin’s top economic official, a former mayor and an ex-federal minister, was attacked at an event in a local library by a man who approached her from behind and hit her with a bag containing a hard device, police said.

A week before that, a candidate from the party of Chancellor Olaf Scholz was beaten up in the eastern city of Dresden while campaigning for this week’s election for the European Parliament and had to undergo surgery.

Both government and opposition parties say their members and supporters have faced a wave of physical and verbal attacks in recent months, and have called on police to step up protection for politicians and election rallies.

In February, the German Parliament said in a report there were a total of 2,790 attacks on elected representatives in 2023. Representatives of The Greens were disproportionally affected in 1,219 cases, those from AfD in 478 cases and representatives of the SPD in 420 cases.

The country’s vice chancellor, Robert Habeck, who is a member of The Greens, was prevented from disembarking a ferry for hours by a group of angry farmers in January, and the vice president of the German Parliament, Katrin Goering-Eckardt, also from The Greens, was prevented from leaving an event in the state of Brandenburg last week when an angry crowd blocked her car.

Two misconceptions i seen in this thread

- Rightwingers want teh end of EU!
Not necessary, lot rightwingers simply wish EU to reflect their position, and if most EU populations want a rightwing approach then EU should indeed reflect that
Example have an united EU on immigration stance, to have greater international leverage and common cause on deport more easily criminals out of our continent would surely be something that rightwingers would enjoy

If EU should not reflect the will of european people and even apply ideologies against it, then yes burn that shit please, but that would be a less good outcome


- Rightwingers blame immigrants for everything!
I think rightwingers (and people like me that don't fully identify as a "rightwinger") mostly blame immigrants for immigrants-related bullshit, like those who come and crime, those who refuse to integrate or those who try parasite our nations

Rise of far right makes reparations debate tough, says Cape Verde president​

José Maria Neves says governments should still try to have such conversations and build solutions using diplomatic corridors

Cape Verde’s president, José Maria Neves, said the rise of rightwing populism has made it difficult to hold a serious debate about colonial reparations but argued that should not stop governments from having those conversations behind closed doors.

In an interview with the news site Brasil Já, published on Wednesday, Neves said debating reparations in the “public arena” could lead to more political polarisation in countries such as Cape Verde’s former coloniser, Portugal, where the far right is on the rise.

Neves said: “We see extremist, xenophobic, anti-immigration groups growing in former colonising powers. There are no political conditions to publicly discuss these questions at the moment.

“But among governments it is necessary to discuss these matters.”

He said it was possible to “build solutions” for conversations to take place without contributing to the growth of such groups, adding there were “diplomatic corridors” that could be used instead.

In April, Portugal’s president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, said his country was responsible for crimes committed during transatlantic slavery and the colonial era and suggested there was a need for reparations.

His comments sparked a national debate and strong criticism from rightwing parties.

For more than four centuries, nearly 6 million Africans were kidnapped and forcibly taken across the Atlantic by Portuguese vessels and sold into chattel slavery, primarily in Brazil.

During Portugal’s colonial era, countries such as Angola, Mozambique, Brazil, Cape Verde, São Tomé and Príncipe, Timor-Leste and some territories in Asia were subject to Portuguese rule.

Opponents of reparations argue that contemporary states and institutions should not be held responsible for their past.

But advocates of reparations say action is needed to address the legacy of slavery and colonialism, such as systemic and structural racism, and contemporary states still benefit from the wealth generated by hundreds of years of exploitation.

The idea of paying reparations or making other amends for transatlantic slavery and colonialism has a long history and remains deeply disputed but has gained momentum worldwide.

I agree that left-wing institutions tend to indoctrinate students into left-wing ways of thinking. Departments that are like 99% left-leaning do tend to output people who are... left-leaning!

Right-wing parties have plenty of things they want to do. It's not their fault you are too lazy to look up their platforms.

Most EU citizens liked the idea of the EU until about a decade ago. They want the benefits of free-trade and movement within Europe. They do not want to be dictated upon to take on millions of random people into their countries at the behest of some random country's official sitting in Brussels. Or to literally be forced to stop producing food and energy for their country to adhere to satisfy some ridiculous climate change metric. Who needs food and electricity to live these days?

A 16 year old account pops up out of nowhere spouting the far left gobbledegook. It's a little obvious at this point lol.
