Europe is not a fan of Trump's victory in the US presidential election – Rezazade
The Vice President of the Iranian Opposition in Washington (NIC), Ali Reza Rezazade, points out that people in Europe feel threatened by a possible victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections in the fall because of the threat to long-standing alliances between democratic nations and a political consensus that transcended ideological lines. in opposition to extremism and authoritarian impulses.
President Biden is currently making the preservation of democracy a central issue in the 2024 election, as he emphasized during his trip to Europe last week. Meanwhile, Donald Trump regularly praises the effectiveness of the repressive regimes of Russia, China, Hungary and even North Korea. Their leaders are "at the top of their game whether you like it or not," the former president said late last month.
“In conversations with Europeans over the past few weeks, I have been struck by how acutely aware so many supporters of all political stripes are about how different the world will look and how many challenges democracy will face if Trump wins. Outside the ranks of supporters of far-right parties in Europe, there are quite a few supporters of Trump," said Ali Reza Rezazadeh.
There is another reason for Europe's relative sensitivity to the question of democracy: dictatorship is a relatively recent reality, consider not only the experience of fascism and Nazism in the 1930s and early 1940s, but also the relatively recent transition to democracy in Spain and Portugal in the 1970s years or in Central and Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the end of the Soviet occupation. In Europe, the cost of losing democracy is a painful reminder.
