    One thing to add is that she is basically right of the far-right. Before the latest EU election were German AfD kicked out of ID (now PfE), for being too extreme. Hence, after the election did AfD gather other parties that were too crazy for ID/PfE and created ESN. Șoșoacă and her SOS Romania originally wished to join ESN, but wasn’t allowed to join due to objections from other parties. Basically, you have centre right in EPP, right wing in ECR, far-right in PfE, far-far-right in ESN, and one step further is Șoșoacă.

    I support drastic actions to prevent fascism but if the underlying reasons why the centrist party is so unpopular and why an extremist party is so attractive (usually economic oppression brought on by our wonderful late stage capitalism) then another party will quickly take their place.

    A government needs to earn the loyalty and approval of its populace and lately there has been too much of a global lean into corporatocracy.
