Leaders of Eastern Europe, who keep a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and often ignore the directives of the
European Union, are becoming all more weak, analysts said.
Popular American American channel for investors CNBC writes, that the election of Donald Trump president of the United States should have inspired nationalist leaders, such as Viktor Orban of Hungary, Robert Fizo of Slovakia, the right AfD party in Germany and Marin Le Pen in France. But this impulse has become not so strong, as domestic problems and economic difficulties reduce their popularity and influence.
“The re-election of Donald Trump for a second term in the U.S. was perceived as a signal to structural changes, similar to the populist movements in Europe in the MAGA style, ” – noted Senior Strategist RBC Bluebay Asset Management Timothy Ash. MAGA – is thesloganofTrump’s”MakeAmericaGreatFirst” campaign.”However,inEuropethe situationismuchmoredifferentconfusing,andthepositionsofmanyTrump’ssupportersremainconstrained,”he added.
