Positioning the new administration from the White House “blows wind” in the canvas of the far right parties at the European Union level. While Germany takes an electoral test in just a few days, in Romania the speech is used by Călin Georgescu and its allies as an electoral campaign tool.

JD Vice Vice President Vance has attacked the European Union and Romania, criticizing the annulment of last year’s presidential elections through the Constitutional Court’s decision and restricting freedom of expression in Europe. According to a recent analysis The Guardian, the reasons behind the new American administration consist in the spread of Trump’s political ideas beyond the US borders. To achieve this goal, US leaders bet on the far European right.
His statements came to Munich himself, Germany, who is preparing for parliamentary elections on Sunday. Moreover, Vance later met with the leader of the extreme German right, Alice Weidel. According to polls, the far-right party in Germany, AFD, is in second place in voting intentions, with over 20%, after conservatives, which have around 30-32% in voting intentions.
In reply, the current Chancellor Olaf Scholz pointed to the Nazi past of the country. Also, the executive of the country has cataloged the statements as a mixture in the federal choices to take place. “This democracy has just been questioned by the US Vice -President, not only German democracy, but also that of Europe as a whole ”, said Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
From the Washington Oval Office, Donald Trump praised the statements: “He spoke about freedom of expression. And I think it is true in Europe (…) They lose their wonderful right of freedom of expression. Europe must take care. “
Vance’s statements, spearhead in Călin Georgescu’s speech
In Romania, the controversial statements of the US Vice -President were immediately taken over by the extremely right -wing political actors. The candidate for the presidential elections Călin Georgescu has climbed in the last days on this valve on Munich. Georgescu claimed that the speech held by Vance at the Munich Security Conference “He has developed abuses on democracy in Romania and Europe ”.
“It was a historical discourse, perhaps the most important after Kennedy’s ”, said Călin Georgescu in one of his interventions at Realitatea Plus. At the same time, the candidate emphasized the importance of the partnership with the US to the detriment of the relationship with the European states, reminiscent of the absence of Romania from the meeting convened by President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.
“He expressed (no jd vance) Exactly the ideas we promote, which we support not only related to Romania and the abusive cancellation of the elections, but related to the free world. We accept the offer of the Trump administration to belong to a free world, in which the free expression to receive, in which the censorship is abolished, in which we return to a common sense and normality that has been missing in the last 10-15 years of our civilization values.“, Was the reaction of George Simion, the president of Gold.
How to use the far right the ideas promoted by the US
“Populism feeds on uncertainty and this kind of speech that looks with a finger to do things, say, of the system, as a whole, which contravenes the interests of the people. Now, what the extreme tells us in the context of the discourse that was that the cancellation of tour II from us, of the complete elections, and in general the political actions of recent years have upset the new power in America and then this comes against the interests of the people. And from here, of course, it was given water and returns to some narratives that were already existing, but now they are said with even more ardor. With more conviction”, Explained for the truth the political scientist George Jiglău.
According to the political scientist, US positioning will have an impact that will become visible in the following period: “In the context of some choices, as it is in us, as in Germany this week, of course this instability with the need to make a decision to the electorate is not a great combination. So yes, from this point of view, the speech we had is clear that it targets us directly, influences us and that they will have an impact on the dynamics we see in the next period, because it blows wind in the canvas of those who are perhaps less friendly with the idea of liberal democracy. ”
In the context of the German elections, the political scientist explained that the greatest danger is that “The traditional conservatives in Germany are radical, and the future chancellor is willing to make alliances in Parliament with AFP, why not in government. ”
