The recent European elections have served as a symbol of the struggle facing liberal democracy, according to Suvi Turtiainen, HS Berlin correspondent. The challenges come not only from external powers like Russia and China but also from within Europe itself.
In Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron gave a speech at Sorbonne University where he highlighted the precarious state and future of Europe. Macron’s main message was a warning that “Europe is dying, it may die.” Meanwhile, there are several links attached to the original content that seem to lead to various websites promoting Toto sites, casino sites, health blogs, pensions and entertainment companies.
The challenges facing liberal democracy are multifaceted and require collective action and introspection within the European Union.
