Part 7/9:
The pushback against Vance's speech and the rise of the AfD underscore a critical misunderstanding between the political elites and the electorate. Instead of engaging with the valid concerns raised by citizens regarding migration and security, the establishment appears more invested in maintaining a facade that enshrines their positions while attacking dissenting voices.
European leaders might benefit from reassessing their communication with the public. By listening to and addressing the anxieties that fuel support for parties like the AfD, there exists an opportunity for repositioning their platforms to better align with voter concerns about national security and cultural integrity.
