Editorial: Le Monde

• Threats are perceived to the West, particularly the rising influence of the far right.
• Many fear the reelection of Donald Trump due to political, economic, and social destabilization.
• There is a rising and concerning trend towards extreme nationalism in Europe, which could lead to the weakening of the European Union and its values.
• There is a concerning level of complacency and denial about the threat that the far right poses.
• There is a trivialization of xenophobia and racism, which threatens the foundations of democracy.
• The expansion of nationalist parties in power increases the threat of dissolution of the European Union.

Conclusion: The political crossroads facing the West is clear: there is a need for a firm rejection of extreme policies and a reaffirmation of democratic values to prevent further damage to our societies.
