I'm unsure why you're spinning a discussion about foreign interference in the EU into a discussion about Republicans vs. Democrats.

To the EU, it doesn't matter much if it's the Republicans or the Democrats doing it. What matters is that the USA is trying to interfere with the EU's political landscape.

It would be bad if they pushed the extreme left, too. They just happen to be pushing the extreme right.

(The reason right-wing political violence is more talked about in the EU is also rather simple: It is much more prevalent. https://www.bka.de/DE/UnsereAufgaben/Deliktsbereiche/PMK/PMK...)

Ah yes, data of left wing government in power shows that the big problem is only the "hate speech twitter comments hate crime" of their growing right wing opposition that threatens their power.

100% trustworthy and unbiased of them.

Just like to UK government denying grooming gangs were not real and only due to "far right white supremacists", until they couldn't hide it anymore thanks to the backlash on social media they're trying to ban right now.

Always believe what your leaders are telling you, as they have your best interest at heart and would never lie to you to protect their own interests.


You consider the current German government to be left-wing?

The current government is led by the CDU. The only popular party that's even further right, the AfD, has merely 20% of the vote. Or worded differently, 80% of voters voted either for the current government or further left. This clearly places the current government in the center, maybe even a bit on the right wing.

The current government can only be considered left-wing if you completely disregard the democratic will of the German people.
