ok so i wanna make something clear about poland, our results arent actually as bad as they seem (tho they arent ideal either)
and that is because pis (conservative-socialist party that has some fascist rhethorics) and konfederacja (the nazi party the sort of la pens) do NOT cooporate with each other, they loathe each other, especially konfederacja doesnt want to work with pis
and pis has a strong stable dedication from old people and smaller towns to vote for them, which means that the actual nazi party cannot gain as many votes from the less radical general voters which there is way more than those radical
pis in the eu parliment doesnt join the ID group, they join a different right wing group but not the same as afd (germany) and rn (france) which is good because the last thing id wanna see is them getting 20 more seats
of course pis still sucks ass but konfederacja is way worse and they Really Dont Wanna Cooperate, pis generally doesnt hit it that well with other alt rights because alt rights of the western world looove russia and pis hates russia and they would never switch their view on that
AND their opposition - koalicja obywatelska (ko) just beat them for the first time in my god definitely over a decade but probably longer which is HUGE. ko is centrist-progressive-capitalist, they cooperate a lot with the current party ruling eu parliment and are part of it
additionaly ko is in coalition with other parties that also made it into the eu parliment
and yea those other two parties did poorly (lewica and trzecia droga) while konfederacja did great - basically half a year ago we had parliment elections in poland and lewica and trzecia droga fell a few percent since then while konfederacja grew twice and THAT is the not good part
however it is kind of attributed to poor campaign of these two parties and low voter turnout after few tiring months in polish politics scene
so while it does appear that the result in poland is kinda 50/50 against nazis id say its less problematic than france or germany cuz their Actual Nazi Parties are way stronger than konfederacja is (which pis is not. not really. and their result is actually considered a Big Loss in poland! for the first time in long years they arent the party with most votes!)
it really is only horrible with lewica (the left) barely getting 3 seats, theres been a lot of problems with the leadership of the party and their voters are very unhappy with them, wo they either didnt show up (which is. ugh) or voted ko which is defo the push it needed to go above pis
you win some you lose some
I really need to emphasize that the German- overt- no exaggerating- 100% certified Nazi party, will have as much of a say in EU matters as the entire country of Austria
(based on the EU election results as of 9 June 22:00, there's still time for it to get worse)
This isn't a fucking joke. Pay attention to diaspora in Europe, even when the US eclipses everything else
