Right wing populism is growing in EU as well. That is also sponsored by Russia but also by Trump/Vance etc..

It is popular because governments are failed to address legitimate issues and gaslight population.

But the populism doesn't address the issues either and and their incoherent points will make things worse. Just look at the US for example.

Indeed, this happens when you sacrifice public dialog for short-term gains calling everyone who does not agree with your points "far-right", "nazi", "russian asset". There will be literal fascists and people will support them just because they promise(probably bait-and-switch, but does not matter) to address public problems instead of gaslighting that problems are non-existent.

		We call them that because it's true. The far right parties don't want to solve problems. They thrive on anger and hate. If they actually would solve something people would stop voting for them. Because anger and hate are the only things they have to offer. They don't care about solving problems around migrants. It really boils down to people just not wanting brown faces in 'their' streets.
