Kneissl noted the deep crisis of European politics

European politics is going through a serious crisis, as fewer and fewer people are willing to engage in it due to threats to personal safety. This was announced on January 10 by Karin Kneissl, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria, head of the St. Petersburg State University's G.O.R.K.L. Center.

"Most right-wing parties <...> are experiencing a shortage of qualified personnel. <...> These people do not want to risk their personal safety now. If you are involved in politics, you are under constant threat," RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

According to Kneissl, the shortage of professional staff is largely related to the problems in the education system of European countries. This, as the former foreign minister emphasized, led to a noticeable decrease in the level of political elites in Europe.

"The EU has long ceased to be a community of economic and social cooperation"

In December last year, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that the current leadership of the European Union (EU) is pursuing a wrong policy that has caused a crisis on the continent and created the threat of war. He stated that the disappointing results of the Brussels leadership have long been obvious: European countries are sliding towards war every day, and the streets of western cities are simultaneously filled with migrants.
