Why Europe’s Right-Wing is More Divided Than You Think

Polling suggests that right wing parties are likely to perform well in the upcoming European elections, but there are growing tensions and feuds between the three groups. So in this video, we'll break down these divides and how they could shape the EU.

Nationalists not getting along with another nations, im flabbergasted

[Pablopablo]

How can you skip on the Russia question? ID is very Russia-friendly, whereas ECR is strongly against Russia

[Dread_]

When european right-wingers just said "we are right-wing but not hungary lvl right-wing"💀

[Lewa]

Nothing surprising here. Right wingers, like their left counterparts, are not a monolith. That's what a healthy political landscape looks like. If everybody started agreeing with each other, then I would start to worry.

[Thought_Processing_]

This is not really surprising to me. The EU is by its very nature a multi national organisation. Nationalists as a general rule want their nation to be predominant or perhaps even a hegemonic. It does not surprise me that most of them are euro-sceptic as the EU is a power theoretically above their nation, but it also doesn't surprise me that they have difficulty working together as they are nationalists of competing nationalities so are natural enemies as their theoretical ideal scenarios are in direct opposition.

Sz in Hungarian is pronounced as [s], so Fidesz is pronounced as [fides]

[Bayard]

Populists disagreeing?? I'm shocked, shocked I say!!

[lkrnpk]

I think a big rift is between pro-Putin right wingers and anti-Putin right wingers too... then again same can be said about left wing too. Usually Scandinavians and East Europeans (excl. Hungary and maybe Slovakia in parts) + Italian lady and Dutch are staunchly anti - Putin both on left and right wing, but with others there can be differences

[Jeuro]

Gotta love how when Meloni came to power it was all screams of hysteria, a fascist in Italy, Mussolini's back, brace for the Apocalypse, and now she's travelling with the most establishment caricature of Europe and none has to apologise for the BS

[nozellot]

Here in Austria, the remigration discussed in Germany is just something the FPÖ openly wants.

[cgt]

Its not "divided" its how it had always been.

Its just that people now decided to stop generalising others

[jonasmejerpedersen]

Inger Støjberg of the Denmarks Democrats, the new main right-wing party in Denmark, has also said she wont stay in the ECR if Fidesz joins

[euanmilne]

would love to see more european parliament videos ngl

[technobladeleakedclips]

Not nearly as divided as thr left in its constant civil war

[jacobbwalters]

I think the major distinction between ECR and ID is that at their heart, ECR politicians genuinely believe in democracy and the European project, while believing in the promotion of national identity conservative policies within that framework. Many of the ID parties, on the other hand, favor a more burn it all down mentality towards the EU and don’t see the regression of democratic values as such a terrible thing. I know that some of the ECR parties are considering including Fidez, but I would be highly surprised if that union came to pass. Fidez seems more closely aligned politically with the ID parties, and it seems to me that Orban is only considering joining ECR because of their more prominent position and influence within the EU. ECR likely wants to allow talks with Fidez to keep Orban in the fold and keep him from creating new headaches, but were ECR to allow Fidez to join, it would not only fracture their coalition, but it would also reduce their influence over the more powerful EPP.

The shift rightwards was triggered when a large number of darker skinned folk were moving from Syria to Europe.
Russia being Russia, would carpet bomb/destroy cities, therefore contributing to the migration.
Then, Orban being the angel that he is, assisted in transporting the migrants from Hungary to other EU countries.

[Defensor]

Sorry, but I have to criticize the way you pronounce things. The "sz" at the end of FIDESZ is the "s" in English. Meanwhile the "s" in Budapest is pronounced as "sh" correctly, you basically had them backwards.

[steffen]

5:40 "Czech and Slovakian" It's Slovak, not Slovakian.

[euanduthie]

I'm surprised that the video didn't find time to mention that the UK's conservative party was partly responsible for the rift in the European right, having been a major player in the split of the ECR from the EPP. The split was part of Cameron's posturing on Europe that was supposed to placate the Anti-Europe faction in his party, and we all see how that turned out.

[Xgennn]

EPP is "conservative" depending on which party we're talking about. A lot of them are centrist
