Europe must regain hope. Certainly, the Von der Leyen II Commission did not inspire anyone with hope. The reader will even remember that the appointment of the College of Commissioners was marred by the appointment of Teresa Ribera, Spain’s former Minister for Ecological Transition, and the blackmail of the Socialists and Greens to block the College because of the presence of the Hungarian Commissioner and the presidency of Raffaele Fitto in one of the vice-presidencies.
Von der Leyen really does already appear to be a politician who has had her day. It seems she has nothing to contribute.
The plan of Von der Leyen and her popular, socialist, liberal and green majority is depressed. In frank decline. Possibly, contrary to her initial plan, she has had to present that Compass of Competitiveness that I have analysed in several articles, and which of course leaves everyone dissatisfied.
The victory – and above all – the decisions and executive orders of Donald J. Trump during these first 15 days of his mandate constitute a complete amendment to the global policies that the Western world has implemented over the last 20 years and to which the European Union has fully adhered.
Brussels and its Commission are, effectively, out on their feet, like a boxer who has been knocked down, almost on the canvas, waiting for the bell to ring and for them to be able to take a breath in the corner. But they will not get a break.
Last week Patriots for Europe made an open offer to the parliamentary groups of the European Parliament to agree to the suspension of the Green Deal and all the Regulations and Directives that make it up. The group of Conservatives and Reformists was open to examining the proposal. This caused panic in the European People’s Party because if the right side of the House, including the sovereigntists, forms a common front, the popularists will be cornered.
Today, Santiago Abascal, president of VOX and the Patriots for Europe Party, at a huge political event in Madrid, together with national leaders (Orban, Le Pen, Salvini, Wilders, Babis, Kickl) and international leaders (Milei and María Corina Machado), has once again reached out to the reformists and the group of sovereigntists that includes Alternative for Germany to build a joint action in Brussels.
Globalism is at its worst since the end of the Second World War. It is time to make a strong impact in Brussels. The month of February could be a new step forward in this crisis of the Brussels bureaucracy; if the FPÖ finally forms part of the government in Austria and the results in Germany force the CDU to make a deal with AfD one way or another.
Indeed, it is time to generate hope. And in my opinion, it is clear that the Grand Coalition of the People’s Party and the
Socialists no longer generates enthusiasm in anyone. It is a spent force. Only the European right wing generates enthusiasm, hope and a will for change. A radical change. A total change that definitively defeats, also in Europe, ‘woke’ politics and illegal immigration, laying the foundations for the Revolution of common sense, which will return to the European nations their kidnapped sovereignty; to companies and workers, prosperity and to all Europeans, the freedom threatened by projects such as that Parliamentary Subcommittee called the Democratic Shield that deserves the rejection of any citizen with the slightest political sensitivity.
As a European citizen I see that there is a popular current, increasingly in the majority, that has decided to definitively move away from political correctness, from social-democratic economic policies, from the social policy of the left, from the cultural policy of elites who despise the working classes. It is a true revolution from below, and only those politicians who respond to that desire for change and hope will survive this moment.
