He who does not sin is a saint. In other words: he who sleeps is a saint\u2019. Similarly: \u2018European Right-wingers don\u2019t like gays. Putin does not like gays. Therefore, the European Right-wing are Putin\u2019s agents.\u2019 Then there are the conspiracy theories arising from this primitive logic: if a conservative activist once participated in a discussion on the same internet forum as someone with a Russian name, it means he is being paid by the Kremlin\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Let me start with a very important caveat: there is no doubt that Moscow has both its secret agents and its more or less secret lobbyists in Western countries at its disposal, and that it finances organisations that are supposed to represent Russian interests. Such was the nature of the so-called Moscow loan of January 1990, which we know very well here in Poland \u2013 i.e. the transfer of 1.2 million dollars from KGB sources to Polish post-communists (with the patriarch of today\u2019s Left (<i>Lewica<\/i>) party, Leszek Miller, among those who were involved in the transaction). We also know that the Kremlin openly rewards those politicians who have done things that are beneficial to it \u2013 suffice it to mention in this regard Gerhard Schr\u00f6der, the former Social Democratic Chancellor of Germany. After his political career, he became a lobbyist for the Russian energy sector, and in 2017-22 was head of the board of directors at the state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft. In turn, former Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Sch\u00fcssel, a Christian Democrat, was appointed to the board of directors of the Russian mobile network MTS, and became a member of the board of directors of Lukoil in 2019. Another former Austrian chancellor, Christian Kern \u2013 a Social Democrat for a change \u2013 became a board member of Russian Railways. A high-profile case was that of Karin Kneissl from the Freedom Party, given that Vladimir Putin personally attended \u2013 and even danced \u2013 at the Austrian foreign minister\u2019s wedding. After leaving politics, Kneissl became a columnist for the news portal <i>Russia Today<\/i> and was appointed to the board of directors of Rosneft. After Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, under pressure from the Austrian public, she resigned from the latter position, but soon afterwards became head of the St Petersburg-based GORKI institute. No harm done, after all.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">These cases demonstrate that the Kremlin\u2019s efforts cannot be underestimated, that Putin indeed exercises influence in the West, and that his people are intensely active in European politics. Although all the above-mentioned cases concern centrist parties from the political mainstream (despite the best intentions, it\u2019s been a very long time since the European Christian Democrats could be considered conservative), various left-wing propagandists are still spreading the legend that it is the Right-wing parties who are in fact Moscow\u2019s tools (or even its agents).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">From here there follows a long line of names of people who often differ a great deal, but are united in opposing the terror of political correctness, the imposition of a single Brussels ideological template upon all European nations, and the erosion of national sovereignty: from Donald Trump to Viktor Orb\u00e1n, Marine Le Pen and Giorgia Meloni, all the way to Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski (not to mention somewhat less prominent activists). Typically, none of the accusers provides any hard facts; their whole argumentation is based on the use of long, insignificant strings of links between organisations, derived from the fact that some of them have attended the same scientific conference or that they have signed up for the same discussion club. Their \u2018proof\u2019 in fact boils down to weak circumstantial evidence, and their arguments to mere manipulation. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Again, it is worth making a caveat: all ambiguities must be clarified and evidence must always be sought, because \u2018Moscow\u2019s men\u2019 are indeed among us. It is worth remembering, however, that until now, anything that goes beyond unsubstantiated accusations can only be attributed to small parties on the margins of the political scene, such as the Polish party Change (<i>Zmiana<\/i>) or the British National Party \u2013 i.e., to politicians who rather represent the \u2018political periphery\u2019, and who are unlikely to gain any influence on governments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">First of all, however, we must not succumb to the methods of manipulation that are being used against us, because accusing certain individuals or circles of maintaining ties with Moscow may also be a manipulation spearheaded by the Russians in order to discredit Russia\u2019s opponents.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">This may be particularly true with respect to Poland. Here, ever since Russia\u2019s aggression against Ukraine began, even the incredibly powerful political circles that used to dream of resetting relations with Putin no longer even mention anything along those lines. On both sides of Poland\u2019s political divide, there seems to be a consensus on the need to put a dam on Russian imperialism. It may be all the more surprising \u2013 and arouse suspicions as to what inspired it \u2013 that those who have always and most loudly warned against Moscow \u2013 i.e. Right-wing and conservative circles \u2013 have recently been eagerly accused of playing the role of a \u2018Russian footwrap\u2019; i.e. a Russian agent of influence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Let us turn to the method of argumentation used in this case (all the following quotes are taken from the press or public statements). Strangely enough, the same methods of \u2018weaving the Russian footwrap\u2019 are being used against the Right in Poland as in other countries.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Meetings, contacts, businesses<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:12.0pt; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Perhaps the gravest offence is to have contacts with a person whom the accuser may be trying to implicate in pro-Kremlin networks. The case of former US President Donald Trump is instructive here. The long string of accusations against him includes those which state that \u201cnumerous Trump associates had [&#8230;] obscure business contacts with Russia, as for example Paul Manafort, his election campaign manager, who collaborated with pro-Russian oligarchs in Ukraine. [&#8230;] In total, several people in Trump\u2019s closest circle, including members of his family, had relationships of various kinds with Russian businessmen, diplomats, and intelligence personnel.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:12.0pt; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:12.0pt; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">This means not Trump himself, but rather his \u2018numerous\u2019 \u2013 how numerous? \u2013 associates. Why were these contacts so vague? What does \u2018of various kinds\u2019 mean? Which \u2018intelligence personnel members\u2019 are involved, and what kind of relations were maintained with them? But there are no specifics, only rhetoric designed to create a certain impression. It is a typical style of argumentation aimed at incriminating someone where there is no evidence at all. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:12.0pt; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Trump, even as president, was criticised in 2019 precisely for his willingness to meet with Putin. It was announced that Trump intended to \u2018sell\u2019 Eastern Europe to him, to weaken our NATO flank, and that he would announce the withdrawal of some US troops from Europe after his then-planned conversation with the Russian president&#8230; Commentators were surprised that after the meeting Donald Trump \u201cdid not announce any decisions regarding the reduction of the US military presence in Poland or the reduction of American involvement in military exercises conducted in the countries along NATO\u2019s eastern flank. Nor did he signal a change in the decision to build components of the missile defence shield in Redzik\u00f3w\u201d, and moreover, \u201cthe Trump-Putin meeting did not negatively affect the security of the Alliance\u2019s eastern flank\u201d. What a shock!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Meetings with Putin are extremely dangerous events for politicians in any event, as the unfortunate Prime Minister Donald Tusk discovered for himself, for example, when he smiled imprudently at the head of the Russian state in the forest near Smolensk a few hours after the tragedy in 2010 [where President Lech Kaczy\u0144ski was killed in a plane crash together with his wife and dozens of high ranking Polish officials, ed.]. His smile was captured by a photojournalist, and the photo aroused predictable suspicions. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Such accusations have also been levelled at politicians of the European Right who have had meetings with the Russian president. Marine Le Pen, for example, was criticised very harshly \u2013 although after all, she was not the only one who spoke to the Russian president after 2014. There was also Barack Obama (shortly after the seizure of Crimea), Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, and even (in 2019) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This is not to mention Pamela Anderson, who was given a tour of the Russian president\u2019s home by the man himself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Polish conservative politicians and other Polish conservative activists have never sought contact with Putin and never had any meetings with him. So what if Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki appeared, as the mainstream media put it, \u2018at a Putintern rally\u2019? <b>\u201c<\/b>This refers to a summit that was held even before the war, in late January 2022 in Madrid. It was a rally organised by the Spanish populist Vox party, where representatives of Europe\u2019s larger and smaller far-right parties had gathered \u2013 including those that are overtly pro-Russian.\u201d Putin was not there. The participants were very diverse. But since the opportunity arose, a suitable label was pinned on Morawiecki, too<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Even scarier, though, was the fact that \u201cPiS signed a joint declaration of ideas with Le Pen, and Mateusz Morawiecki recently had a nice meeting with her before the Brussels summit\u201d. In other words, Kaczy\u0144ski\u2019s party is conniving with a woman who is an ally of Putin. This should be understood to mean that centrist politicians are allowed to be members of European international networks along with Western parties whose former leaders were later employed in the Kremlin\u2019s companies, but one is not allowed to collaborate with Ms Le Pen. Why? Because of her incorrect views, or because of her bad daddy?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In Poland, the publisher of the magazines <i>Wprost<\/i> and <i>Do Rzeczy<\/i> also received his portion of insinuations about improper business ties: an overly creative author wrote a book claiming that the owner of the weeklies had in the past \u2018got\u2019 his company through post-Soviet connections from the eastern Ukrainian corporation Industrial Union of Donbas, which \u201cwas linked in many ways to the Russian oligarchs Usmanov and Yevtushenkov\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Without even analysing the possible secret commitments and agreements \u2013 a brief search on the Internet reveals that it was \u2018a bit\u2019 different: it was the publisher\u2019s company that bought an inactive Ukrainian company in order to get it listed on the Polish stock exchange, where the said company was listed. But who will prevent some reckless columnist from having his own interpretation of the facts? And who will forbid him from mentioning Russian names, the very sound of which clearly insinuates that someone was a \u2018Russian footwrap\u2019?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Another case in point: an author vigorously describes an online discussion forum so that readers get the impression that it is an underground anti-abortion organisation; she even uses the term \u2018international sect\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Among the many participants in the forum, she mentions in the same breath a certain Russian name (of a man supposedly linked to the Kremlin) as well as the names of several Polish conservative organisations. What conclusion can be drawn from the fact that all these participants \u2013 along with many others \u2013 were posting on the same forum? Well, it supposedly proves that this \u2018sect\u2019 \u2018serves to whitewash the actions of the Russian government and spread the Russian &#8220;point of view&#8221;\u2018 \u2013 and if so, it is insinuated, the Poles who are participating in it are serving the Kremlin. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">This is despite the fact there is not a single shred of evidence that even one good word about Moscow was uttered by Polish activists in this forum. What is important is that someone mentions certain (generally unknown) Russians and the names of Polish foundations within a single article. The reader is left with the impression that he is dealing with a mysterious network that was created by Putin \u2013 even though, as always, evidence is lacking.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Money from the Kremlin<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">This brings us to the next issue, which is the suggestion that there are financial ties between the European Right and Moscow. Here, too, a long chain of connections is often described which is difficult to trace: a man with a Russian name sets up a foundation, which in turn funds a Spanish association, which then pays a Polish foundation for some services. No one explicitly claims that this proves that there are strong links between Poles and the Kremlin (there is in fact no evidence), and it is not even commented on in this way, but the impression that there are connections to Moscow remains.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Of course, the French National Rally, Ms Le Pen\u2019s party, is the easiest to attack, given that this party, back when it was still known as the National Front, actually did receive a loan from a financial institution with links to Russia. This was the First Czech Russian Bank, based in Moscow, and whose eastern connections are indisputable. Journalists rarely mention the political context when raising this issue, however. In a way, the loan from the Russian institution \u2013 more than \u20ac9 million \u2013 that was intended to cover the costs of the local elections was imposed on France\u2019s National Front. While the other French parties took loans from French banks, the National Front\u2019s loan applications in France had all been refused, even though it was clear that they would be refinanced after the vote, meaning that the risks attached to such a loan were zero. Thus, Le Pen\u2019s party made a desperate, albeit reputation-sinking and hardly praiseworthy, decision to take a loan from a bank linked to Moscow. Although let\u2019s be honest: in France, which traditionally turns a favourable eye towards the Russian state in all its incarnations, it was far less incriminating than it would have been in Poland. No one kept this transaction a secret, but its effects were such that Ms Le Pen\u2019s enemies gained powerful arguments to discredit their opponent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Certainly, in order to clarify the matter in depth, one would have had to find out whether the Kremlin was indeed behind the decision to grant this loan, and whether it had ordered its people in the bank to favour the Front. But no one was interested in this, no one asked how it was that a Russian institution was willing to lend the money, or why all the French banks had previously refused to do so. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Today Ms Le Pen\u2019s party would not get any credit, because after that election it was decided that French groups could only apply for loans from institutions within the European Economic Area. The electoral chances are therefore finally equal: everyone can apply for a loan from the same banks \u2013 although not everyone will get them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In Italy, there have also been attempts to associate the Right wing with \u2018the Kremlin\u2019s money\u2019. The media insinuated that the Kremlin was financially supporting the Northern League. In response, the party\u2019s leader, Matteo Salvini, joked that he happens to withdraw roubles from an ATM. Salvini is not without sin, as he managed to disgrace himself by marching around Moscow wearing a T-shirt with Vladimir Putin\u2019s face on it, but no one has provided any credible evidence of Putin financing his party.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In Austria, meanwhile, the media carried out an \u2018investigation\u2019 and supposedly demonstrated how the Kremlin had controlled local and European \u2018far-Right groups\u2019 there after 2014, offering them money for bringing in projects and commissioning newspaper articles. A minor problem with these stories\u2019 credibility was that, after the \u2018compromising facts\u2019 came to light and these accusations were investigated by the Austrian Court of Audit, the case was dropped. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">When two say the same thing<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">One of the most amusing arguments made to prove the links between the European Right and Russia is the claim that their ideas and programmes coincide. Let\u2019s start with the accusations against the Polish Right: \u201cIn political terms, the anti-Russian declarations of the Law and Justice (PiS) party do not actually prove anything. Kaczy\u0144ski\u2019s party has for years been following the scripts written by those in power in the Kremlin. Numerous statements by politicians of the [PiS-led] United Right coalition regarding, among other things, LGBT+ people, threats to the Christian tradition, or the spectre of Western nihilism are almost a carbon copy of the views proclaimed by Putin\u2019s partisans.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">There you go, it all adds up. In Poland, we are still seeing articles claiming that if Vladimir Putin and his propaganda warn that the words \u2018father\u2019 and \u2018mother\u2019 will soon be replaced by \u2018parent 1\u2019 and \u2018parent 2\u2019, and the same rhetoric is used by Polish conservatives, including Law and Justice (PiS) members, this could mean that they are \u2013 de facto \u2013 working on behalf of Moscow. If Putin sees dangers in granting privileges to gays and other sexual deviants, and the Polish Right wing believes the same \u2013 it means that they are on Russia\u2019s side.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Here is a quote from the anti-PiS media in Poland: \u201cThe policies of the Law and Justice party fit perfectly into Moscow\u2019s broader interests in Europe, which are aimed at its disintegration and destruction.\u201d Russian cultural studies scholar and columnist Alexei Chadayev argued in 2016 at a conference organised by the Batory Foundation that \u201cRussia and Poland behave like brothers who walk side by side along the same path, in exactly the same direction, look at each other, and pretend not to know who the other is\u201d. In his view, PiS\u2019s programme of \u2018positive change\u2019 is actually Putin\u2019s United Russia programme. \u201cMany PiS politicians talk in the same way as the United Russia party about &#8220;gender ideology&#8221; or LGBT rights,\u201d observes Bartosz Rydli\u0144ski, PhD, a political scientist at UKSW and the Daszy\u0144ski Centre. \u201cKaczy\u0144ski upholds traditional values based on Christianity as much as Orb\u00e1n, Salvini, or Putin.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">A publicist at a popular Polish radio station wrote bluntly: \u201cFor years, Kaczy\u0144ski\u2019s party has been reading from the scripts written by those in power in the Kremlin.\u201d What serious argument did he invoke? \u201cA striking similarity between the PiS and the Kremlin narratives in their approach to cultural and moral issues.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">One does not even know whether to laugh or cry over this shoddy rhetoric. If Putin says there was no assassination attempt in Smolensk in 2010, but rather a simple accident, and Tusk says the same, does that mean the current prime minister is a Kremlin man? Okay, even if perhaps this is indeed the case, the latter is certainly not a prejudging argument. It is simply that someone who preaches the same views as someone else does not necessarily mean that he is the other\u2019s ally. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Similar accusations are, by the way, levelled at numerous circles in Western Europe as well. It is a dogma that proclaiming traditional, conservative views implies ties with the Kremlin, which \u2013 let us finally reveal this public secret \u2013 having abandoned communism, looked for another idol and found it in the political Right, although it is difficult to judge to what extent this was feigned and to what extent done sincerely.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Moscow trolls helped to win<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">An irrefutable argument, and at the same time an unprovable one, is the assertion that Russia plotted the electoral victory of a given party or candidate. These insinuations have probably concerned Donald Trump more than anyone else.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">At times, moreover, such accusers would go beyond the bounds of absurdity. There have been suggestions that Trump met with Vladimir Putin several times before the 2016 election \u2013 implicitly, in order to gain Russia\u2019s support. The problem is that there is no shred of evidence for this. There is no record of the American billionaire paying a visit to the Russian president, or that they ever met on any other occasion, despite the fact that numerous traces usually remain of such events. Moreover, knowing Donald Trump\u2019s exuberant temperament, the former US president himself would have been happy to brag about such meetings, yet he denied it. \u2018Information\u2019 about the meetings nevertheless went out into the world and was mindlessly reproduced by the media.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Further suggestions: Russian hackers organised the breach of the Democrats\u2019 computers and led to the disclosure of the contents of their politicians\u2019 emails. Indeed \u2013 in 2016, WikiLeaks published more than 19,000 emails showing manipulation in that year\u2019s Democratic primary, resulting in the weakening of Hillary Clinton\u2019s position. Clinton herself stated that suggestions that Russia may have been behind the attack caused her concern. Barack Obama added that he thought it was possible that Russia had actively tried to influence the US election. Possible? Of course, it is possible. It is well known that Russia and China are keen on using hackers and trolls. But in this case, any evidence of a \u2018Russian footprint\u2019 is lacking. There are not even any clues. There is only a suggestion, an insinuation spread in the media.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In order to compromise Right-wing opponents, the secret services are often readily utilised. After Donald Trump\u2019s election victory in 2016, the FBI, which was still led by the Democrats, began carrying out an investigation aimed at showing the president-elect\u2019s links with Russia. A report emerged according to which the Russian intelligence services had supported Trump over the course of several years prior to the election, helping him in both his business and political activities. Russia was reportedly running troll farms, which intended, among other things, to undermine Hillary Clinton before the Democratic primary while supporting the extreme Leftist Bernie Sanders.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">This was followed by the \u2018Mueller report\u2019, filed by the special prosecutor appointed to investigate Trump\u2019s Russian connections. Robert Mueller is a former director of the FBI. The result of his investigation was a 400-page document and several indictments of lower-level activists with dangerous ties to Moscow. The problem was that none of these accusations involved Donald Trump. The response from the experts was clear in its insinuation, however: the absence of an indictment means that there is insufficient evidence, but it does not mean that Trump is innocent.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Documents from the aforementioned FBI report were later examined by Special Counsel to Attorney General John Durham, who was appointed for this task in 2019. His opinion proved devastating regarding the actions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Durham found that the investigation was initiated without justification and then conducted improperly. The agency relied almost exclusively on information provided by Trump\u2019s opponents, and what turned out to have been crucial for the FBI\u2019s actions was a rumour that had been passed to them by an Australian diplomat in London which claimed that one of the then-Republican presidential candidate\u2019s advisers allegedly had prior knowledge of information that Russian trolls had intended to publish in order to discredit Hilary Clinton.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Words and gestures<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Nevertheless, to be fair, it is the Right-wing politicians themselves who sometimes put a weapon in the hands of their Leftist accusers. It is impossible to count the ridiculous declarations issued by Donald Trump and certain French or Italian activists, for example.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Let\u2019s just mention one of Trump\u2019s most recent statements, which has been interpreted as being advantageous for Putin: the former US president said that when he is re-elected, he will not protect those NATO countries that fail to meet their financial obligations to the alliance against Russian aggression, and that he would in fact \u2018encourage\u2019 Russia to \u2018do whatever they want\u2019 with them. He also said that if he wins the election, he will bring the war in Ukraine to an end within 24 hours.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">These are not exactly smart proclamations, although whether they are pro-Russian or purely unwise and a result of Donald Trump\u2019s braggadocio can be disputed. It should also be noted that we were already threatened by this politician\u2019s pro-Russian stance before the 2016 elections. As it seems to have occurred to him, all he needed to do was to have a frank chat with Putin and provide him with reasonable arguments, and then it would have been possible to bring about a reset in relations with the Kremlin and change its policy. In fact, Trump thought the same about Kim Jong Un and North Korea. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Four years of his presidency have revised that view, however. Trump understood that there could be no reset in relations with (post?)communist dictators and that he was not able to make them change their course. The Republican leader therefore quite quickly adopted a hard approach towards Russia which was clearly evident, for example, during the conflict in Syria. Thus, when Trump today hints that he may withdraw aid to Ukraine after his victory, it is safe to assume that he is only saying it, but will not necessarily do it. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">As far as the European Right is concerned, it is easy to see that the opinions of its politicians, which are sometimes favourable towards Putin, are usually a result of their Euroscepticism. The more someone dislikes the situation in the European Union, the more willing he or she is to look for another sustainable point of reference \u2013 and often finds it, with reciprocated sympathy, in the East.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">For example, Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the Rightist Italian Brothers party, was heavily criticised for congratulating Putin on his victory in the 2018 elections, calling his win \u2018a true expression of the will of the Russians\u2019. Europeans were warned that if Meloni came to power, she would seek to withdraw Italian aid to Ukraine and take Italy out of the European Union. But when she became prime minister, it turned out that the experts who had predicted a change in Rome\u2019s policy were profoundly wrong. Not only does Meloni stand firmly on the side of the European Community, but she strongly supports Ukraine in its war with Russia. \u201cItaly has everything to lose in a world where the force of law will be replaced by the law of the stronger\u201d, she declared.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Polish President Andrzej Duda likewise experienced his own blunder, albeit probably a minor one but inflated by the liberal-Left media when, in response to an interview question about the future fate of Crimea, he stated: \u201cI don\u2019t know if [Ukraine] will regain Crimea, but I believe it will regain Donetsk and Lugansk. Crimea is a special place, in part for historical reasons, because in fact if we look at history, it has been under the control of Russia for a longer time.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Commentators were outraged, and they were very much in the right. A politician can think about compromises, look for ways to make them and negotiate, but in certain situations \u2013 such as the current one in Ukraine \u2013 some things should not be said out loud, especially if one does not have a serious influence on the course of the war. But does this mean that Duda is a \u2018Russian footwrap\u2019? Obviously, he is not, but rather he has fallen a little short of the level of a true statesman. Nevertheless, the reaction to his statement shows how political narratives are constructed in order to destroy the Right wing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Discrediting a political opponent<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify; margin:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Century Gothic&quot;,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">As we can see, the conservative Right\u2019s resistance to the change of principles and the reversal of values being imposed on us all \u2013 that is, to what is called the revolution in morals \u2013 has infuriated the current global establishment. Since it has not been possible to shout down the adherents of traditional values and force them to accept these changes tacitly, attempts are now being made to destroy, annihilate, and eradicate conservatives \u2013 by all means: with lies, insinuations, and manipulations designed to discredit them and to take away their credibility.
