CNN: Right-wing populists Orbán and Salvini could tear EU apart
Change language:
As the European Parliamentary elections are coming up in May 2019, political experts are concerned about the success populists may reach and even about their takeover of decision-making in Europe, as CNN reports.
Political experts fear that a united right-wing populist wave with the leadership of Orbán and Salvini could put too much pressure on the most significant policies in the EU, should they get more of the seats than beneficial in the upcoming elections.
The next European Parliamentary elections in May 2019, are decisive regarding our continent’s future. The once in a five years’ time event will define what the most important policies will look like in the upcoming years on topics such as migration, social policy and the promotion of democracy.
During the elections, members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected by EU citizens, but unfortunately, voter turnout has been declining significantly over the past decades: only 42 pc of citizens went to vote in 2014.
According to political experts, the reason for this might be that voters do not consider EU elections so important as national elections, which is not too promising.
This is where populists, such as Orbán and the Italian Salvini come into the picture: as the threshold to pass to get into the Parliament is low, the system benefits fringe parties, which means that populists can have more politicians sitting in the seats of the EU Parliament.
How misunderstood CNN’s point of view is. It’s almost like George Soros, went to downtown Atlanta, Georgia to visit CNN to produce this nonsense reporting. Soros will probably say next that if Hitler was in power that the world would be a better place, because he worked out well for himself!
lmao, not a very good “political expert” if you “fear” the rise of these much needed leaders that might just save some of Europe from devastation.
