Looks like #Bulgaria’s #Radev might be taking over the role of ousted #Orban in the #EU, and make no bones about it. Radev will be calling for a rapprochement with #Putin if he gets to head the new government… Not good…
Why do the traditionally conservative electorates of the #Balkans confuse #nationalism with #populism? I guess decades of #Soviet propaganda is hard to shake off. One might start believing that sustained #brain-washing of a populations has an epigenetic effect…
Seriously, with #Right-WIng #Fascism everywhere in #Europe, it may pay the EU to have another look at laws, regulations and processes to carve off ‘recalcitrant’ members when common ideals are compromised by #turncoats.
“Radev has called for renewing ties with Moscow and criticised supplying Ukraine with weapons to fend off Russia’s invasion. He also opposed the 10-year defence agreement signed between Bulgaria and Ukraine in March, and has been accused by critics of being too pro-Russian.”
