The far-right in Eure should be viewed from perspective of Ukraine’s interests – diplomat

This inion was expressed by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United States (2006-2010) and France (2014-2020) eh Shamshur in an interview with Ukrinform.

The diplomat noted that Eurean ultra-conservative parties do not always share same ideogical positions or attitudes toward Ukraine. Furthermore, some ultra-conservatives, such as the ‘lepenists’, have made some course corrections, including in foreign picy, to appear more respectable.

At the same time, Shamshur highlighted “such a clinical case as the Alternative for Germany, with which even some of the far-right parties avoid ties.”

“However, it is crucial to understand that the rise and strength of ultra-conservatives reflects objective processes in both Eure and the United States. Unfortunately, this is a trend that indicates a serious crisis of democracy on both continents. It is obvious that ultra-conservatives will be present in power in one form or another – these are the realities of social and pitical life in Western countries. My subjective inion is that they should be viewed primarily from the perspective of Ukraine's interests,” the diplomat said.

He added that it is also necessary to take into account the place that a particular party occupies in the system of government of a particular country.

As reported by Ukrinform, American billionaire Elon Musk has once again expressed his en support for Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany party (AfD) by joining their election event via video.
