This needs some context. SOS Romania is a Far-Right party in Romania, so Far-Right that the AfD didn’t want to associate with her.

    I don’t think things as as simple as they appear here. Undoubtedly this is a right wing party with a lot of really dumb reactionary positions, but the reasons why they are being demonized so hard by the liberal establishment has more to do with them being pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, anti-NATO, very critical of the EU, and one of the only parties in Romania who are not rabidly pro-Israel. AfD not getting along with them is more due to the fact that AfD are a bunch of slimy, opportunist liars who despite their populist rhetoric never intended to take any kind of stand against either the EU or NATO and also they are massive Zionist scumbags.

    I think we need to be more skeptical of liberal mainstream narratives branding anyone who is against NATO and the EU as extremists. What the establishment parties do and stand for is no less extreme than the far right, they are unhinged, warmongering imperialists who support a genocide, and who fund and arm literal neo-Nazis. The EU is increasingly censoring dissenting voices and a lot of European countries are outright arresting people for being pro-Russia or pro-Palestine.

    Pointing this out and how anyone who is vocally opposed to this regardless whether they are from the left or the right faces media demonization and state persecution doesn’t mean you support the right wing.

      C’mon,I mostly agree,but this is the person who says shit like this

      Quote translation: From this moment Romania is over, there is no more state, nothing remains. I can say nothing but long live the Legion and the Capitan (references to the Legion of the Archangel Michael,who was the nazi party of interwar and WW2 Romania and committed numerous pogroms,massacres and killings, who was rabidly antisemitic) who were killed by the same Jewish (she uses a slur in Romanian for Jewish people) power who acted now. (she’s mad that the Constitutional Court denied her bid to run for president) Shame to all of you.

      I agree NATO is a cancer,but c’mon,let’s not defend Iron Guard lovers.

      Completely agree, the pro-nato parties are the actual “far-right” already. Their internal appeasement policies through identity politics do not whitewash their past international crimes and current genocide support.
