Weird article. It is not described how the parties “joined forces”. It was a proposal by Greens and Left, the right wing groups were not talked to AFAIK. They merely voted for the proposal how should the Greens and Left heve prevented that?
The vote taken yesterday, marked another moment when the far-right and the far-left in the European Parliament united to oppose decisions taken by the mainstream parties.
And then they don’t bring examples. How am I now to check if the moments the article refers to are not other incidents of right wingers just voting with the Left against centre parties?
There is little to no substance to the claim of “joining forces”.
p.s.: Please note that I am not arguing about whether this proposal is a good or pointless move or whether the trade deal is necessary now or not. I’m just critizising the claim of the far left and the far right actually working together.
We all know whose side the media is on, so your suspicion is more than warranted but about guarenteed. Their lack of examples and details says all you need to know about their insinuations.
Since when are the greens far-left?
The far left did vote with them, some parties on the far left also do present themselves as greens, like the Portuguese green party (although they don’t have MEPs anymore).
But when the supposed moderate Greens side with Russian puppets on the far-left and far-right to sabotage a deal with Global South countries, I guess we can’t call them moderate any longer… Aggressively defending protectionism to European farmers and wasting an opportunity to improve the environmental standards in South American farming industry. This at a moment when Europe desperately needs to strengthen relations with middle powers like itself. This is extremist behavior.
The portuguese green party is a social democratic centrist party. Your overton window, much like the journalist’s, is way to the right.
Are you talking about the same green party? Because the only party green in its name is PEV “Os Verdes” the eternal coalition partner of PCP, the communist party.
How is that far left though? They don’t defend leaving the EU, they abide by courts, they respect the constitution. That’s not far left, that’s just left wing.
The extreme right, by opposition, engages in anti-constitutional shenaningans, disobeys court orders, is sponsored by Interventionist foreign governments like Russia, has members committing theft in airports, just to name a couple of stuff that ended up in international press.
These are not even comparable, and the fact you think they are, tells me all I need to know about where your overton window lies. Either you’re being disingenuous or are genuinely a victim of the fascist media indoctrination pipeline.
You think PCP/PEV is not sponsored by Russia?
No evidence of that happening, at least in the international press. Chega on the other hand, I linked already such evidence.
I also find it amusing that’s the point you choose to pursue when questions are made about the accuracy of your arguments.
I see the question was answered organically, you’re being disingenuous. One of the many fascist buddies frolicking on the socials.
Sorry for not wasting too much time answering someone with ready insults and the usual cassette, but I find it boring… I’m a lefty with an own mind, I’m not impressed by your microwaves notes, nor insults. And yes, PCP is the main Russian puppet in Portugal, CH is only in recruitment phase still.
Both supported by Chinese and russian and american money? More likely than you think.
Ffs…
And that ⅓ of greens/EFA are also against it. SHAME ON YOU!
Sigh. Yeah, what else could be expected from a bunch of extremists?
The greens arent extremists, But for the faar left and faar right, yeah whats to be expected of anti-EU parties…
What a beautiful site, greens and Nazis joining forces against a deal with the Global South /s.
The right and left agree on a lot of things. Their agreement on an issue does not invalidate that opinion. Some of the far right now in the US realizes Israel ran epstein as a honeypot for blackmail in both the US and UK. Are you also going to listen to Israel when they discredit that because some of the right believe it?
Tis a good argument if one has shit for brains I will give it to you. But neverminding your definition of “far left,” trade deals with countries without the same labor and environmental standards leads to a race to the bottom and selling out manufacturing to the low cost country to abuse their workers and pollute their lands so investors can make a killing.
Sounds like you are a neo liberal, playing us for fools.
I looked at the vote. ⅔ of greens/EFA votes against the examination of merconsur threw the EU court
