Rise of nationalism. Europe’s most urgent and perhaps most critical test- the renationalization of
European political realm, which represents an existential menace to the EU. At last, defying this urgent crisis
will be crucial to any achievement in meeting the difficulties created by Russia and ISIS.
Economically speaking, the far-right parties raise new boundaries, limiting the free movement of
goods and service. European nationalist commonly protectionist, trusting that free trade only created the job
market for rich states residents with limited skills and education. Also, the nationalist is opposed to single
currency. For instance, in Poland, the new government has left the former government’s undertaking to join
the Eurozone area. Hungarian government also elucidated that they do not have any idea to join the Eurozone.
The Front Nationale wishes to abandon the euro in France. Generally, the far-right parties aren’t literate
economically, and if their policies were implemented it would destroy the European economy as a whole.
The promising news is that Europe can reverse the situation, only if European mainstream political
parties’ leaders, especially left parties’ leaders, express a reasonable alternative to the unsuccessful economic
policies of the recent decade. The left should react to the social tensions that fuel nationalist populism. Leftist
leaders can turn around nationalist tendencies by returning Europe to its underlying role as the promoter of
European fairness and solidarity, particularly through job training, ‘green’ development and other public
ventures. In the event that the left doesn’t begin presenting a more convincing agenda, Europe is on a risky
political path.
After all, for Europe, there is the immediate necessity for obvious thinking and solid leadership. The
problem is, who will provide it? Marine Le Pen? Mijnheer Wilders? Heinz-Christian Strache? Jimmie
Akesson?
