Fairy tales and other electoral promises in Eastern Europe

From eternal life to absolute happiness, passing through the legalization of corruption to subject it to taxes. The crazy electoral promises, between pure humor, political satire and populism, are abundant in the community countries in Central Europe and from the East facing the European Championships on June 9.

Eternal life, along with something more prosaic like free beer and, in general, that “Everything will be better” This is what the Hungarian Two-Tailed Dog Party (MKKP) sells to humorously criticize the electoral promises of the traditional parties.

The members of this party declare themselves ‘passivists’ instead of activists. The party, created in 2006, was left without a seat in the European Parliament five years ago, but the polls now do not rule out the possibility of obtaining a MEP, who would join the Greens group.

The Slovenian ‘nothing that is’

‘Nothing of that‘ is a satirical group that defends the legalization of corruption to tax it and finance such attractive promises as happiness, joy, health, a lot of money, work for everyone, Slovenia finally winning Eurovision (it has not gone beyond the seventh place) and let the sun shine every day.

Everything, under the philosophy of nadadeesoismo and with an electoral program that, without misleading anyone, has as its subtitle ‘Fairy tales for very young children’.

The Croatian party ‘Ricard nezavisni’ (Independent Richard) of comedian Enio Mestrovic carries out its electoral campaigns in taverns in Dalmatia consuming wine and aspires to enter the European Parliament with the open intention of stealing large amounts of money.

Against satanic parasites

Members take themselves more seriously. ‘Greatness’, a formation created in Bulgaria three months ago by a pro-Russian businessman who was a colonel in the security forces, and who set up a theme park with a medieval atmosphere on the shores of the Black Sea.

The party encourages citizens to oppose the State. In fact, the Ministry of the Interior is investigating allegations that park workers have armed themselves and taken control of the area, even making illegal arrests.

Also in Bulgaria, ‘The truth and only the truth’ is running for election, a formation that wants to destroy the political class and the parasitic satanic system in Bulgaria and promises popular courts and hanging for “all the satanic political scum”. His motto is “Glory to the work of our brother Jesus Christ.”

In Austria, one of the richest and most prosperous countries in the EU, activist Maria Hubmer-Mogg is convinced that what her fellow citizens need in the European Parliament is a doctor like her to defend those who, she says, suffer in silence alleged damage to your health caused by anticovid vaccines.

To this end, he founded the DNA (Democratic, Neutral, Authentic) list, which opposes several international health regulations, calls for tough anti-immigration policies and for the lifting of sanctions imposed by the EU on Russia for its aggression against Ukraine.

Czech aliens

“We aliens have the knowledge” It is the way in which ‘Yes to a better Europe with aliens’, a Czech party that asks for the vote to end the war in Ukraine, presents itself.
