Europe condemns the Russian interference against it
The
Russian interference in the West and, particularly in Europe, has been
denounced by a resolution of the European Parliament, where it is shown
that the Kremlin would be operating, through covert funding of political
parties and organizations, to promote the anti-European feelings and thus causing a fragmentation in the political and social fabric of the European Union. In
reality, the resolution also condemned the pressure exerted by Islamic
terrorist groups, which, through its propaganda, would aim to create
divisions among Europeans of Islamic faith and other citizens of the old
continent. These are two cases, however, completely different, united only by their intrinsic danger to the organization in Brussels. The
Russian case must be framed in a larger project, where Europe is only a
part of the objective, within the broader framework, which includes the
entire West, increasingly seen as the enemy to fight. They
must be reminded of the actions attributed to Russian hackers, to
influence the American elections and ward off what Moscow was considered
the most important danger: the election as President of the United
States Hillary Clinton. Trump's
victory was not certain about the intrusion of Moscow, however, these
actions have shown an interest in taking action in the inner sphere of
other states, it has become a strategy on which Putin attaches
particular importance. Moreover
it comes to exploiting the ample room for maneuver that the deep
divisions in the West, allow, thanks to economic and social policies
wrong, who were favored by the growing incidence of globalization
understood in the wrong way, and they have produced deep social
imbalances , based on the growing inequality. This
is to say that carrying out these practices of interference has an
economic and political cost much lower than in the past and it is a
choice that puts you in a position of strength in a democratic regime
contained compared to the developed democracies that apply in Europe. Towards
Brussels, Moscow would be pointing to an increasing disinformation,
carried out either by direct means, press agencies, television stations,
and other social media, with both loans can give greater strength and
weight to European anti parties, which, incidentally, you are always those deeply opposed to sanctions against Russia. That
the Kremlin might be attempting to delegitimize the normal European
democratic values, those that underpin the Union system, to try to
destabilize able to weaken what is considered by Putin, the nearest
opponent in a geographical sense . A
Europe increasingly divided and crossed by deep contrast reasons, be
able to make more radical aversion from Europe's anti movements, would
be a softer opponent for expansionary policy, that the Kremlin wants to
implement in the territories it considers how its exclusive economic zone. The
speech, however, does not concern the objectives and the geopolitical
balance, but also economic, since a Europe more divided than would have
less bargaining power and an equally less impact in relations with
Russia. Putin,
to support its policy can not be based solely on the military, but must
also revise the approach of his country on the economic aspect, which
is necessary to sustain political action. Russia
suffers a huge delay in the production of goods and services, that the
production of raw materials is no longer able to compensate and a
divided Europe would fall completely in Moscow objectives. It
will be critical attitude that will hold the new President of the
United States, which during the election campaign, has been shown to
accept the politician Putin, but on several issues has already changed
its attitude. For
now, Europe remains the Obama political legacy, who in his last trip as
occupant of the White House, has recommended to the European states not
to eliminate the sanctions to Russia and continued vigilance in
relations with a Kremlin increasingly less respectful of international law. It
must, therefore, be read in this sense the resolution of the European
Parliament: as an acknowledgment of the threats from Moscow and the will
to prevent them, both with this public act, that with the creation of a
task force to counter the propaganda Kremlin. In
any case it seems worse the renewed conflict between the West and
Russia, with these new developments, which once would not have been so
obvious and explicit factor representing an element of novelty in
international relations.
