Berlin is expressing doubt about the European Union’s ability to withstand the rise of nationalist parties and the pressure from the Trump administration.

I Think it is the passe Thing to just start blaming the rigth of what to come, instead of just making Things better. No one will vote for the far rigth, if the guys at the top just do a good job and start focussing on the real issues here. Maybe stop all the survailance shit of EU citizens for startes.

No matter how good your leadership is, the far right can literally exploit ANYTHING negative happening.
The 2007/08 market crash was purely down to the US fucking up their own markets and it rippled out of there - but the far right latched onto it and immediately blamed the EU and visa foreign workers.
The 2012-2015 immigration crisis was also thanks to the US (specifically their middle Eastern interventionalism), yet the far right managed to grab onto the issue and win serious ground with it - even though the situation was mostly well handled given the circumstances.
