The Right Plus-que-parfait

Already known the results in the elections for the European Parliament on Sunday in the European Union, with a quantitative victory of the center-right represented by the European Popular Party EPP that obtained 190 votes, making it the largest delegation in the European Parliament, although to tell the truth, It was no surprise to anyone, since it has become the stronghold of consensus among the liberals, greens and centrists of Europe, that last bastion against the usual threats coming from the Kremlin, the uncomfortable and late de-Chinization in the commercial sphere. , and where this “old continent child” must also begin to become independent from its Uncle Sam in the country of North America, especially in the geopolitical protection that it has provided for years.

This triumph has been overshadowed by a striking and explosive growth of a more convincing and convening sector of the European right, which has shown the capacity for organization and articulation, despite its internal differences and which in such turbulent times have been overcome. The real victory was won by the right that I prefer to call plus-que-parfait (more than perfect) or right plus.

Although this description may sound too flattering, I seek to emphasize its most marked definition and conviction, in the face of the opaque right that agrees with the post-Marxist left and that is part of the globalism that has countries in suspense regarding the problems of immigration, economic and lacking identity.

The term that is also used for a verbal tense of the past in the indicative mode very typical of French, phonetically this word is of a particular beauty, and it resonates more with me remembering the perfect French pronounced by my deceased father, taking me back to those gatherings when since his mouth were pronounced; Today they come from the mysterious depths of life after death.

Let's cross the pond again; What worries the European left is not the Macrons or the Von Der Leyens, who seem to be meek and show nothing but submission to social democracy, of which they are already a part, as if it were an effect of centripetal forces that act on them, let's say, based on the consensus of Francis Fukuyama that ruled the End of story, as if there had been a beating of liberalism against communism with the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, a question as far from reality as saying that Russia and China only seek to be innocently accepted and included in the international concert and we do not assume that seek to vindicate the “abuses” of the West for centuries through actions close to the vendetta. Historical issues that count.

But Europe has shown its real face and will to fight, the one that made it a leader in human development, both in humanistic and scientific areas, and it did not do so, as expected, at the hands of its bureaucratic elite cohabiting in Brussels. and Strasbourg, nor from the halls of Davos, but from his people, that folk that has to deal with the reality of constant price increases, uncompetitive markets in which they are forced to participate with asymmetric rules, which are squeezed in taxes and barriers with the excuse of the future of green economy, the one that falsifies about global warming and fills people with panic, stops development with the firm hand of progressivism that detests private initiative, considering it another capitalist axiom full of individualism and dirty competitive. Well, despite having the entire lobby working so that with a Manichaean position, the progressive social democrats-liberals-centrists-greens were elected, those who feel they are owners of sanity, even though they put all their media outlets in place for weeks with active propaganda against what they call extreme right, they look more with envy than with true ideological concern at the consolidation of national-conservatism in deep Europe, that rooted in tradition, represented by people tired of the surrender of their rulers. , they have elected a parliament with a purely right-wing, more popular, that defends the citizens of their countries, that wants to control unleashed immigration with importation that also includes crime, drugs and abuses in the use of the European social welfare system, and that is taking care of what the Greek Christian tradition should be like.

Thus, among the most important victories are that of Marine Le Pen's National Rally or RN of France, which was the first majority in the European Parliament with 30 seats, and has forced French President Macron to advance legislative elections, where it is predicted which could be a majority with 34% of the parliament, compared to the 19% of the current president's coalition, with a high probability of generating a cohabitation of government between him and a young but brilliant Jordan Bardella, who is already standing up to the prime minister and favorite of the president, Gabriel Attal in the French debates in heated discussions; There is also the AfD party, Alternative for Germany, which although it was removed from the Europarliamentary group, Identity and Democracy led by RN and the Italian party La Lega (of Matteo Salvini), he reached the second majority in his country, despite having had specific cases of some leaders for being benevolent in their statements towards the Nazism of the 40s and cases of espionage Chinese, both issues unacceptable from any point of view; In Belgium there was such an earthquake that caused the triumph of the right that led to the resignation of Prime Minister De Croo, and puts them in first place to lead a possible new government. It was also the turn of Poland's newborn party, Confederation, which obtained 6 positions, a response to the PiS (Law and Justice) abandonment of the ideas of freedom and defense of traditional values in the Eastern European country.

Thus we find triumphs in the large spectrum of the right that range from the aforementioned ID as a group that most questions Brussels, as well as more pro-European in the case of the ECR group (European Conservative and Reformists), prone to American Atlanticism, which includes the Spanish party Vox, which went from 3 to 6 seats, the party of the Prime Minister of Italy, Georgia Meloni, with her Fratelli d'Italia party, which swept 24 seats, and the already mentioned Polish party PiS (Law and Justice ) with 20 seats.

Among them, but without a particular group, like true hinges that join doors with structures, is the successful Hungarian model led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party, which have a good relationship with both sectors and show signs of know to do, consolidating its position of European leadership in instances of this nature, by obtaining 11 seats.

As can be seen, neither Eurosceptics nor pro-Putin, as those on the left try to label them, although they have nuances such as their inclination more towards supporting Ukraine via the delivery of weapons, as in the case of ECR, others maintain convictions that it has no It makes sense to delay an agony for the former Soviet republic, which will imminently be annexed by Russia, and which means an expense for Europeans that could be used to solve the problems of employment and real wages, greater dynamism in the market and incentives for local companies, and support for downturned sectors such as agriculture, retail trade, or strengthening the energy and IT industry after the abandonment of the old continent in the technological race, of which it is far from being the protagonist as it was throughout the 20th century. It is about recovering that leadership and international position that has been lost due to the excessive bureaucracy in decision-making in the EU, the insistence on the installation of a supranational government and the fading of the autonomy of the countries, a very firm among progressives, both from the globalist right and the social democratic left.

For some, Europe is dead, I think not, that we are experiencing a European awakening, a way out of that lethargy, but more is required to recover it as a beacon of civilization of yesteryear, and that explains the high adhesion and support of the common citizen who voted among the June 6 and 9, which sees how their countries must have their own visions without leaving aside the feeling of unity and active collaboration, to achieve better levels of education, health, technology, justice system and fight against uncontrolled immigration, of facing a much more complex horizon, where medium and large powers with governments of dubious democratic level threaten to snatch away that historical position and fundamental role in Western culture.
