Presidential election
Donald Trump – the Anti-Pluralist
With concern in European media look on Donald trump’s success in the American pre-election campaign. Trump prevailed, this would have also consequences for the “Old world”. Some politicians would be quite right.
He would choose him, had made known to the French right-wing extremist Jean-Marie Le Pen a few days ago via the short message service Twitter. Le Pen Americans, would be the founder of the Front National would vote for the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Surprisingly, the news came: Repeatedly leading politicians of the National Front (FN) had voted for Trump. Also you can use the “Forgotten,” said the FN Chairman, Marine Le Pen. “Trump and Sanders in the elections on the Republican as on the democratic side is a good figure. This proves that even in America the Establishment is challenged,” said shortly before the
Super-Tuesday” of the Vice-President of the Front National, Florian Philippot.
Dream from the authentic people
The “Forgotten”, the “Anti-Establishment” With their Statements confirmed Le Pen Philippot, the fears that the now is always more successful presidential candidacy of Donald trump in Europe.
Would Trump choose from: Jean-Marie Le Pen
The was successful in the end and Trump 2017 would, in fact, to the White house, then, fears about the French newspaper “Le Monde”, that could give the European right-wing populists with an additional boost. Then it would be expected that populism à la Trump decomposed the political culture of the old continent.
Then you could dissolve the political diversity that was for Europe during the last decades, so typical. As a Populist, “Le Monde”, only his own Program is right: “A real Populist is not content to criticize the elites. Because he is also an Anti-Pluralist: He claims to be the only one to represent an authentic people’s appropriate.”
Reminder to Berlusconi
Such tendencies made for some time
also in Europe wide. “The European populists doubt regularly in a democratic process that brings about the result that you as the only correct view.” So about Geert Wilders, if he would call the second Dutch Parliament Sammer as the “bad Parliament”. And Donald Trump, if he were accused of fraud and his Republican counterparts Ted Cruz after his victory in the Iowa election.
The Italian journalist Gloria Orrigi feels in the newspaper “Il fatto quotidiano” in the face of trump’s choice of combat maneuvers to Silvio Berlusconi reminds. As the former Italian Prime Minister and media entrepreneur care also Trump the Image of the outsider – use at the same time, but all of the opportunities that the political System will offer him. How before him, Berlusconi is also Trump’s run, especially the work on the facade. “You don’t know what he will do politically from its success. Certainly it has nothing to do with what want to look the citizens in those eyes, or you suspect, if you are charmed and enchanted with the name “Trump” – as an elixir that sets their will. Trump sells nothing but the name of Trump, and the more he sold him, the better he will sell him in the future.”
Unclear political program
In fact, leave a little hardly
on Trumps concrete policy, writes the British magazine “The Spectator”. “We have no idea of how a Trump administration would look like”, said American political analyst Anthony Cordesman. So far, Trump place, only claims. In the case of an election success, but he would have to govern a country. “He will increase the defense budget, or reduce? Who knows? Time he is to throw more bombs on Syria, he’s against it.” But as always, he chose his decisions would have for Europe, an enormous impact.
Trump care a rhetoric of selfishness and of demarcation, writes the British newspaper “The Guardian”. He preached that one could achieve anything if you would not be hindered by the other. “And Trump insists that the others are the immigrant Muslims, Mexicans, whatever.” The UK has just about no Trump comparable figure because the distinction will be addressed to some finer Form. It’ll give you but – and against the EU.
With him is his doctrine: Barack Obama, here with Hillary Clinton
“Politics of fear”
On the delimitation of the German foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, alluded, when he diagnosed without a name – in the USA, the “politics of fear”. That this fear could Make also in the Old world, the biggest concern is the European politicians. Almost in the whole of Europe, there are now parties that rely on the logic of exclusion.
But regardless of the outcome of the US elections in November 2016, the Europeans would have to on a little set, writes “Le Monde”: on the leave of the Obama doctrine. It was, and it is characterized by a comparatively restrained, on cooperation in setting foreign policy. Until then, the Europeans need to be Clear what they expected from the United States, writes “Le Monde”. “Because at the 20. January 2017 will disappear with Barack Obama, his doctrine.”
