There is a fairly high chance that by the end of the decade the president of France and the prime minister of Great Britain will be from the ranks of the extreme and xenophobic right. It is indicative that the pseudo-left formations of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Jeremy Corbyn would play a major, if not decisive, role in the realization of this scenario.
History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes, as Mark Twain would say, as did the already seen distribution of forces in the first half of the previous century: the radical left and the nationalist right in joint action, from different directions, against a disoriented and immature spectrum of parties from the moderate right through the center to the moderate left.
In the new Sunday Commentary, we answer, among other things, the following questions:
- What is the difference between France and Great Britain?
- How similar is the spectrum of political parties on both sides of the English Channel?
- Has Brexit Europeanized the political scene in Great Britain?
- Why is the traditional, conservative and moderate right in crisis?
- Who are the biggest allies of Farage and Le Pen/Bardela in their bid for power?
- The role of the radical left of Mélenchon and Corbyn in the rise of the extreme right to power?
- Why is the radical left playing the card of new Britons and French from Africa and Asia?
- Where does the anti-Western and anti-European narrative of Mélenchon and Corbyn's left come from?
- Why do Melanchon and Corbyn trust Putin more than Macron and Starmer?
- London and Paris contributed to saving Europe from totalitarianism in the previous century - could they be the "soft underbelly" of the Old Continent today?
Answers on Sunday evening at 6:15 PM and 10:30 PM on Television Vijesti.
