Block

Stronger

An interview with EPP Lead Candidate Manfred Weber in Der Spiegel:

"DER SPIEGEL: You have said the upcoming EU election is vital in countering the populists. How great is the risk that a strong right-wing block could paralyze European Parliament?

Weber: The idea that populists on the right and left could become stronger in European Parliament is one I find extremely concerning. Brexit shows what happens if you follow the simplistic answers presented by populists. Those who listen to the AfD and the Left Party will end up with a situation in Berlin like the one in London."

If the strategy against populists consists of sheer pragmatism, avoid chaos avoid populists, then we just have to wait for slightly more clever rightwing-extremists.
