The alarming European trend of election interference to stop candidates that support the nation state and the traditional, Christian European values is very worrying.
Combined with the active suppression of anti-globalist views, the curbing of free speech and the rise of technocratic dominance that stifles dissenting opinions threaten the very foundations of Western democracy.
The Return of European Authoritarianism: Free speech is increasingly censored across Europe, actively targeting anti-establishment views. Censorship is used to avoid confronting uncomfortable social and political issues.
This interview of former UK Prime Minister, Liz Truss delves into serious concerns about democracy, censorship, and cultural shifts across Europe, particularly focusing on the UK and broader EU. It is well worth watching.
Interviewer Mario Nawfal and Truss highlight specific cases like Romania’s election cancellation, censorship of political figures in France and Germany, and the suppression of free speech in Britain, such as the criminalization of controversial social media posts while more severe crimes receive less attention. Romania’s election cancellation exemplifies EU-wide democratic suppression.
The Return of European Authoritarianism: The cancellation of elections and suppression of political figures like Marine Le Pen and the AFD showcases a worrying trend where establishment forces across the EU use legal and extralegal means to stifle opposition.
This undermines the core democratic principle of allowing popular will to shape governance. These actions suggest an entrenched elite resistant to change that threatens their power, raising alarms about the future of democratic pluralism in Europe.
The dialogue also tackles the sensitive issue of grooming gangs in the UK, emphasizing the reluctance of authorities to address crimes predominantly involving extremist Muslim perpetrators due to fears of being labeled racist.

The Return of European Authoritarianism: This is linked to broader systemic failures, including political calculations that prioritize votes over justice and the neglect of economically deprived British towns transformed by migration and cultural isolation.
The human rights framework in the UK is particularly worrying because it disproportionately protects criminals over victims and law-abiding citizens.
Liz Truss calls for the repeal of the Human Rights Act and restoration of judicial accountability. Censorship is seen as a tool to suppress uncomfortable truths about economic decline, radical Islam, and immigration issues.
The UK’s Human Rights Act, originally designed to protect individual freedoms, has been exploited to shield criminals and complicate deportations, exemplified by cases where offenders remain in the country due to “right to family life” protections. This legal framework has also empowered an activist judiciary that operates with limited accountability, undermining traditional liberties and frustrating efforts to enforce immigration and criminal policies effectively. Repeal and judicial reform are proposed as necessary to restore balance.
A dominant technocratic mindset, particularly within institutions like the British Treasury, the European Commission, and global bodies such as the IMF and World Economic Forum, enforces a narrow ideological orthodoxy.
This groupthink marginalizes dissenting voices by labeling them extremists, effectively narrowing the Overton window of acceptable discourse. Such a concentrated power structure lacks democratic accountability and fosters policies that persist regardless of electoral outcomes, deepening public frustration and alienation.
Grooming gang scandals in the UK expose systemic failures and political reluctance to act. The scandals reveals how political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and electoral considerations prevent authorities from effectively addressing serious crimes predominantly committed by individuals of Pakistani Muslim background.
This not only victimizes the vulnerable but also erodes trust in law enforcement and political institutions. The issue is compounded by the socio-economic neglect of towns affected by deindustrialization and cultural segregation, which has allowed harmful parallel societies to flourish unchecked.
The Return of European Authoritarianism: The increasing censorship in the UK, including harsh penalties for controversial speech online, contrasts starkly with leniency toward more severe crimes. This disparity reflects a political and media landscape that suppresses inconvenient truths about societal problems such as immigration challenges, economic decline, and radical Islam to maintain a managed narrative. Such censorship risks deepening societal divisions and fueling distrust in institutions.
The “enemy within” is seen as a critical threat, emphasizing the need for renewed commitment to freedom, accountability, and cultural cohesion to maintain the West’s strategic and moral standing in a multipolar world.
Liz Truss also defines the solution to the European problem. She calls for systemic reforms in judicial accountability, immigration policy, and media freedom while advocating for pragmatic foreign policies to counter global threats. Ultimately, she stresses that the Western world’s survival depends on reclaiming democratic principles and internal unity to effectively confront both internal dysfunction and external rivals.
