THE GUARDIAN: Netherlands and Hungary move towards designation as draft resolution reportedly backed by 79 MEPs in 20 countries
Where Donald Trump leads, Europe’s nationalists and far right follow. After a Truth Social post last month, when Trump announced the US would designate antifa, the decentralised anti-fascist movement, “a major terrorist organisation”, his international allies swung into action.
That same day, the Dutch parliament, where the largest party is Geert Wilders’ far-right PVV, passed a resolution, noting the US decision and calling on the government to declare antifa a terrorist organisation in the Netherlands.
Then the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán – more usually a source of inspiration for Trump – said his country would follow suit. Next, in the European parliament, a far-right MEP from the Flemish nationalist Vlaams Belang party drafted a resolution with the same request. Tom Vandendriessche announced last week that 79 MEPs from 20 countries supported his proposed text. In a video posted on X with ominous music playing, he described antifa as “an international network that is supported, financed and protected by the system to fight the nationalist opposition with violence”. » | Jennifer Rankin in Brussels | Sunday, October 12, 2025
Trump’s cancer is metastasizing rapidly, isn’t it? It will soon choke off freedom of speech and, by extension, freedom of thought! Without freedom of speech, freedom of thought is unthinkable. It is such a pity that Americans hadn’t the courage to lock up Trump when they had the chance to do so. Now, the West will have to pay the high price for their weakness and cowardice. Trumpism has already FU America, and now it is on course to FU the rest of the West as well! As an aside, I am sure that Winnie must be turning in his grave to learn that he was the Arch-Antifan! A message to all SANE folks! We are in the fight of our lives! Moreover, this could be the spark that sets off World War III! It’s going to be a battle for the soul of the western world. — © Mark Alexander
