When ‘Democracies’ Out-Authoritarian the Authoritarians
16th April 2025
In just about a month, three NATO states arrested or imposed some form of civiliter mortuus on the biggest political threats to their respective regimes.
Romania forbade Georgescu, who won last year’s presidential election, from participating in May’s re-run; Turkey, with Istanbul’s mayor; Macron’s France, with Le Pen.
In Poland, the Europhile regime of Prime Minister Tusk forces—for the first time since the dark days of communism—the opposition into exile and subjugates newspapers and TV stations through a series of brazen police raids; in Germany, the nation’s largest party, the AfD, is under the confirmed, official surveillance of the intelligence services while its legislation remains under consideration by the authorities, even after they lost the recent federal election and their popularity continues to implode; in Italy, a deputy prime minister nearly got arrested for upholding—rather than breaking—the law of the land.
In Hungary, Serbia, and Slovakia, protests—obviously sold by the mainstream media as spontaneous and innocent—erupted almost simultaneously: the targets are, of course, all governments known to be opposed to—and loathed by—the Brussels mandarinate.
Fico, in Slovakia, nearly died at the hands of a terrorist hostile to the Prime Minister’s Ukraine policy.
