Letter published in The Guardian today. (28/05/2019)
Dear Sirs,
One important factor only hinted at in Jon Henley's analysis on "the end of cosy consensus" for the centrist groupings in the European Parliament ("The Guardian" 27th May 19) is Russia's continued success in driving forward its agenda of weakening of the European Union and other Western institutions by its support of Eurosceptic parties such as Le Pen's National Rally, Alternative fur Deutschland, the Danish People's Party, the Italian Liga and the Brexit Party all of whom improved their vote in the European Parliament. Indeed the resulting Brexitization of the Conservative Party has made the UK's no deal departure from the European Union in October that much more likely. It will also suit President Trump with his hostility to the EU, but then surely he is himself already part of President Putin's agenda?
Yours faithfully,
Wiktor Moszczynski
