It’s always weird to watch European elections from the sidelines, with my sidelines being located at the very heart of Europe. This time, it’s been disheartening to watch Europe drift further right, with the extreme right winning big in all neighbouring countries of Switzerland. «A Europe that just celebrated on the beaches of Normandy the beginning of its liberation from war, nationalism and fascism now again faces fascism, nationalism and war.»

From Weekly Filet #493, in June 2024.
