At worst, the decision of the 14 European Union states could confirm old anti-European prejudices about the undemocratic nature of the community. This argument is only a foretaste of the coming reconciliation of the European establishment with Haider, which is inevitable. In the 1960s and 70s, the traditional parties still reacted to a certain degree to the will of the voters and pressure from below. Their economic and social policies had to take the needs of broader social layers into account. Today this no longer the case.
All parties adapt their politics to the requirements of the stock market.
No matter how an election turns out, the policy remains the same. The parties no longer argue about different programmes, but only about who can put the same big business program into practice more effectively. At its heart lies the reorganisation of the budget. Without doubt, Haider represents a real danger to democratic rights and the past social achievements of the working class. But this danger cannot be fought by solidarising with the hypocritical professions of democracy from the European governments.
