I believe that’s true. It’s happening in the US, The Netherlands and now Italy. Probably more countries which I’m not aware of.
Right-Wing populism always implodes in on itself. I give it six months.
Europe hasn’t learnt it’s lesson and likely never will.
They are rigth, after all their own govt is a fucking mess.
>”At times of uncertainty, populism grows and it always ends up in the same way, with a catastrophe,” said Foreign Minister Juan Manuel Albares. “They give simple and short-term answers to very complex problems.”
The wisest words I heard so far about Italy.
>Populism always ends in catastrophe
No it doesn’t. Sometimes it ends in farce.
You mean like when every single revolutionary movement riles up the people to topple the current elites in order to replace them with some other elites? Where have we seen this before?
Bold words for someone from a party which told us that it wouldn’t govern with the extreme left and ended up doing it. An extreme left which by the way uses the same populist and demagogue tactics the PSOE criticizes and that even supports Putin. We now have 4 vicepresidencies (why?) and the highest number of ministers in all history of spanish democracy.
Our government isn’t the best example of honest politicians.
The left should apply the messages they give to themselves first.
This sentence would only be funnier if it came from Irene Montero or Ione Belarra’s mouth.
> “They give simple and short-term answers to very complex problems.”
I much prefer being gaslit by the government and being told the problem doesn’t exist.
