Elisabeth Dieringer: Trump’s Success Shows That Change Is Possible!

Elisabeth Dieringer, a representative of Austria’s FPO and the Patriots for Europe group, believes that the EU’s political elite will find it increasingly difficult to maintain the isolation of right-wing parties. The Austrian politician recently attended an event in Brussels hosted by MCC, where the debate focused on the topic of political exclusion. “Unfortunately, the same system is still in place,” Ms. Dieringer told our newspaper, although she noted that some changes have become evident in the political landscape, particularly since Trump took office.

 – "It’s clear that they're afraid of us, because we are well-structured and continue to grow," she stated, pointing out that in just six months, the Patriots for Europe have become the third-largest group in the European Parliament.

The conversation also touched on Donald Trump’s election victory and his first decisions after taking office. According to Ms. Dieringer, the U.S. President’s actions strengthen right-wing parties in Europe.

Trump is implementing policies that we have only been planning to implement so far. For instance, in the interest of protecting women’s sports, he's made it clear that men cannot compete in female categories. It may seem like a small issue, but it carries enormous significance,

– she explained.

Ms. Dieringer believes that Donald Trump’s success proves that change is possible.  – “This gives us strength as well. The American people have made their choice, and that decision must be respected. The same principle also applies to Europe: Austrians will decide for Austria, not Brussels,” she emphasized.
