What actually resulted in far right becoming a serious force in Europe was the economic war with Russia. These parties have been fringe for decades, and now they’re polling high in most European countries.

The right took a stance against the war from the very start, while the left shat the bed by siding with the liberals. Now that support for the war is collapsing people are moving to the right.

It’s the final straw (at this moment in time) yes for a situation which has been brewed for a much longer time

This relates more to the moderate right. The far right was openly supporting Russia and against sanctions even after the Crimean invasion. Only after 2022 mobilization they’ve started to hide this

As the economy is once again in shambles thanks to how capitalism works, the voters are easy pickings for those with empty promises

Yes. It’s a multi-pronged effort. Ops like these really take advantage of working classes in hardship everywhere

Nah they were gaining a lot even before the war. Do people have such short memories?
