“Since this is an existential problem for intellectual elites, located mainly in European metropolises around universities and public institutions, we can expect an escalation of the rhetoric that will bind the right firmly to fascism and Nazism. In a worse scenario, even violence cannot be ruled out,” warns marketing expert and commentator Andrej Drapal.
On Sunday, Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party (RN) won the first round of the French elections to the National Assembly. The Slovenian media reported the victory of the “far right” in unison. When Viktor Orbán formed a new association of political parties in the European Parliament, they wrote that Orbán had presented a “new far-right European political alliance.”
Far-right has long been a label for anything to the right of the centre, or, in the new sense, to the right of the left, and even, for some, to the right of the Slovenian Left party (Levica). On the other hand, it is not very common to hear about the far left in the media. The fact that the global media and social narrative has shifted sharply to the left in recent years was illustrated by a graphic recently published by Elon Musk, owner of the X network, which shows that a person’s views and opinions may have stayed the same in the last few decades, but the political spectrum has shifted so much that now a person who used to consider themselves to the left of the centre is suddenly considered by leftists to be right-wing.
The result of imposing multiculturalism
We asked marketer and manager Andrej Drapal for his opinion on the matter: “The rise of the right across Europe is a predictable consequence of the imposition of multiculturalism and the denial of the cultural identity that binds European nations together. The perpetrators of the denial of European identity are the European Commission and most of Europe’s political elites.
Multiculturalism, the wolf in sheep’s clothing, has also been taken in by some of the ‘right-wing’ parties, led by the elite of the European People’s Party (EPP). The wolf, which provides the sources of funding for the intellectual elites of Europe, was first identified by the farmers with the farmers’ protests of the last year. The last few elections, the most exposed of course being the latest ones in France, are a sign that the danger has been politically identified by many voters.
Since this is an existential problem for intellectual elites, located mainly in European metropolises around universities and public institutions, we can expect an escalation of the rhetoric that will bind the right firmly to fascism and Nazism. In a worse scenario, even violence cannot be ruled out.”
