Recently, acts of violence against politicians have dramatically increased in European countries with the election of European Parliament as an occasion, destabilizing the European society.
On June 8, British newspaper “The Guardian”, BBC, website on European issues “Politico”, German internet news “t-online” reported that a string of violent incidents happened one after another against politicians: On June 7, the female Prime Minister was “greatly shocked” as she was suddenly attacked by a man in the center of Copenhagen, Denmark, and had her neck bone broken; A member of Federal parliament in Christian Democratic Union of Germany received hard blows at one of the polling stations for the reason that he insisted on the increase of arms expenditure; A member of European Parliament in the social democratic party and a high ranking officer of Berlin suffered physical attacks.
They stressed the danger of these violent attacks as they happened in the time of electing 700-odd members of European Parliament from 27 EU member states and also in the period when MP candidates, mayors and civil servants in France and Germany are suffering from political violence and threats.
With regards to the continuous violence and threats aimed at politicians which cause anxiety and fear in the European society, European politicians lamented: it is a sad reality that the people dedicating themselves to democracy are being attacked every day.
The incessant violence and threats against politicians and civil servants in European countries could be an accurate reflection of the people’s disapproval of the European society.
On June 18, the media including British newspaper “The Guardian” and Luxembourgian newspaper “Luxembourg Times” reported that the government’s wrong policies and their negative consequences such as difficult living conditions caused by high prices, increased individual expense for climate change prevention, dissatisfaction with inflation, social hatred towards immigrants, etc., could lead to voters’ rejection of politicians.
They also commented that such situation casts a dark shadow over the EU’s future which should deal with several knotty problems like support to Ukraine, increase of defense expenses, trade dispute with China, etc.
