Rightists’ triumph continues in the West

By 1101 0

The demand for snap election is active in Spain, which is at present in the hands of leftists. Hours before, the rights have successfully organised a protest in Madrid demanding the resignation of the ruling leftists. Through it has been triggered by the ruling’s lenient stand towards the Catalonian separatists’ demand (that is, the independence of Catalonia), all efforts have been directed solely towards the destruction of the political base of the leftists in the country.

The tread is not different elsewhere in Europe. It is evident in Italy (with the presence of the Five Star Movement and Northern League), France (with the presence of Marine Le Pen), the UK (with the victory of Brexit), and even in Germany (with the emergence of far-rights voices in the country).

Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK are the four biggest economies in the continent. It is on these economies the entire European Union stands. With the UK’s proposed departure and the ongoing friction between France and Italy, the union at present already has a buddle of problems to deal with.

It is sure that the union cannot survive another big blow. It is high time to articulate a applicable strategy to counter the emerging threat of euroscepticism.

Relation between France and Italy hit new low

By 1163 0

The relation between France and Italy has moved from bad to worse as the Italian Deputy Prime Minister, Luigi Di Maio, has met the representatives of yellow-vest movement.

France, earlier, warned Italy not to interfere in its internal affairs. The warning was made when the Italian leaders started speaking in favour of the ongoing Yellow-vest moment, which France considers as a serious threat to its political stability.

It was the induction of an eurosceptic government in Italy that made the first blow to the relation between Paris and Rome.

Since then, the relation between these two founding members of the European Union has been steadily worsening.

In the recent past, France and Italy found over a range of issue, primarily over the issue of immigration.

This is the first time in the modern history that France and Italy have come out strongly against each other.

The development is not favourable to the existence of European Union. Germany, the UK, France and Italy are the four largest markets in the biggest economic union of the world. This four will soon be reduced to three as the UK will leave the market within months. The union is less likely to survive another big exist.
