Far-Right Surge in Europe: Liberal Parties Crumbling

Far-right, populist, and nationalist parties realized big wins in EU elections that ended Sunday, June 9, 2024, in France, Italy, Holland, Hungary, and Austria. They made significant gains in Germany, with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AFG) ranking second behind the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU/CSU), which also includes the Christian Social Union in Bavaria. This advancement of far-right populist and nationalist parties in Europe indicates the start of a new historical trajectory, taking the continent back to its founding facts.

Dr. Yousef discussed the rise of these parties in his book “The Material Laws of Politics” (p. 2019), and further detailed the fate of the European Union in a study published on September 11, 2023, titled “The European Union: Between Classical Disintegration and Quantic Expansion,” in which he wrote: “[…] according to classical Newtonian principles, liberal parties in the European Union will necessarily lose power in the coming few decades. […] The objective classical political law started taking effect historically to change the political arena in the European Union. It will push contradictory liberal political policies to disintegration in the coming decades. Conversely, it will necessarily elevate the political parties, conforming with the foundational occurrences, to power according to classical laws. […] European countries formed great empires in the past two centuries, taking over most of the world and spreading their power over them without establishing the European Union. Instead, the rise of Europe and its control of seas, oceans, and continents coincided with the rise of the nation-state. This meant preserving an ethnonationalist spirit, protecting borders separating different European countries, and the outflow of European immigrants to the rest of the world. The nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries were the formational period of Europe through its foundational, classical political occurrences. […] When these foundational occurrences faded with the ascension to power of the liberal parties in the E.U. countries, so did the greatness of Europe, its influence, and its power.

Occurrences concurring with the emergence of the European Union at the beginning of the 21st century are contrary to the essential foundational occurrences of European countries at the time of their inception. Their ascension to the positions of world poles and their control of the world resulted from their policies in the 19th century, not only through armed coercion. […]

This is the explanation given for the rise of the ethnic and nationalist right-wing parties and the gradual increase of their supporters and followers. It is also why they reached power in parliaments in U.S. states and counties before it grew stronger and gained broader support. They awakened to renewed European values and foundational political occurrences. They attained the top three positions in the parliamentary elections in their countries since 2014. These parties seem to be heading to more positions of power and control in the European political arena and to monopolizing government formation in the coming decades. Classically and according to Newtonian laws, these parties will prevail and seize power, resulting in the disintegration of the European Union in the coming decades.

Western right-wing parties see that political and economic liberalism is now a transnational, cross-cultural world movement that does not recognize boundaries and borders between political entities, seeking to dissolve it with an economic and media globalization that removes differences

between nations and states in order to amass wealth. Globalized neoliberalism contradicts classical liberalism, which focuses on concentrating wealth, manufacturing, finance, and politics in national centers in the West. Neoliberalism, in contrast, aims to disperse these centers, which explains the essential change in the world and the swapping of positions between the West and the East on the one hand and the North and South on the other. During the presidency of Donald Trump, the United States turned into a protectionist country denouncing globalization. Many European countries will follow the path of the United States when their far-right parties ascend to power.

Scrutinizing this change and role reversal between countries and nations regarding globalization reveals a strong indication that they resulted from the law of foundational political occurrences. The motion of this law drives Europe and the West in general towards the conditions it was in during the 19th century and until the mid-20th century. Therefore, according to classical Newtonian principles, liberal parties in the European Union will necessarily lose power in the coming few decades. The common characteristics between nationalist right-wing parties, without any prior collaboration between them, are evidence of their intersecting objectives, indicating that the law of stability and foundational occurrences directed the political events in the European Union and proving that it is a historical movement, independent from prior planning, organizing, or collusion when these parties were first established and when they became operational. They did not meet to organize their ranks and unify their discourse except in 2015 when the Europe of Nations and Freedoms coalition was formed. These parties can mobilize E.U. citizens to stand behind their candidate lists and vote for them in different countries of the Union because of their shared principles and values.

The objective classical political law started taking effect historically to change the political arena in the European Union. It will push contradictory liberal political policies to disintegration in the coming decades. Conversely, it will necessarily elevate the political parties, conforming with the foundational occurrences to power according to classical laws.”
