The parliamentarian added in an interview with a Novosti reporter: “There is a great similarity in the problems that the population suffers from in the European Union and the United States. The fears and aspirations that drive Trump voters in America are not very different from those that drive the right-wing wave in Europe. Economic security, national pride, resistance to cultural decline and the struggle for independence are universal values that form the basis of our shared vision of the future. Therefore, I believe that the rising political tide in Europe is a clear indication of what is possible in America. We have succeeded here, so Republicans have every reason to feel hopeful on the other side of the Atlantic. “Uncontrolled immigration coupled with economic recession are the main reasons for the growing support for conservative and nationalist movements throughout Europe and the United States.”
He stressed that the growing reservation towards uncontrolled immigration in Europe and the United States is not xenophobia, but rather confirms the population’s desire for security, sovereignty and stability, and for this reason, like Trump’s supporters, voters in Europe are looking to conservative and nationalist movements.
Mariani also compared Trump’s supporters with European conservatives’ stance on the extreme liberal agenda and so-called woke culture, which both sides see as a threat to cultural heritage, history and values.
The term “woke” is used by African Americans and refers to the increasing focus on issues of social justice, racism, and gender.
The parliamentarian confirmed that the national movements in Europe share Trump’s views on economic sovereignty, the return of industry to national borders, securing supply chains, and protecting resources from foreign seizure.
“If we cannot manage our industry, our energy and our resources, we cannot call ourselves free,” he said.

**Interview with Dr. Elena Schmidt, Political Analyst**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Schmidt. We’ve seen significant political shifts in Europe, especially with the rise of anti-establishment parties in the recent European elections. How do you think these developments might influence the upcoming US elections?
**Dr. Schmidt:** Thank you for having me. The political landscape in Europe has indeed revealed a great deal of voter discontent, and this reflects a broader trend that could resonate in the United States. Many of the issues facing voters here—economic uncertainty, immigration, and a sense of political alienation—are quite similar to those in Europe.
**Interviewer:** That’s interesting. You mentioned voter dissatisfaction. What are some specific factors contributing to this discontent on both sides of the Atlantic?
**Dr. Schmidt:** A key factor is the growing economic anxiety among citizens. Many people feel left behind by globalization and technological changes, which has sparked a desire for more protectionist and nationalist policies. In Europe, this has translated into support for parties that promise to challenge the establishment. In the U.S., we’ve seen a similar dynamic among Trump voters, who express grievances related to job security and cultural identity.
**Interviewer:** So, you believe that the motivations for voters in both regions are closely tied?
**Dr. Schmidt:** Absolutely. The fears and aspirations of voters are not that different across the Atlantic. Many people are looking for leaders who can address their concerns directly, rather than the traditional establishment that they believe has failed them. This creates fertile ground for anti-establishment figures and movements in both Europe and the U.S.
**Interviewer:** How do you see this trend manifesting in the upcoming U.S. elections specifically?
**Dr. Schmidt:** If the patterns we’ve observed in Europe hold true, we could see a significant impact from third-party candidates and more populist platforms gaining traction. Voter sentiment is shifting toward those who promise to disrupt the status quo. It’s going to be critical for traditional political parties in the U.S. to address these concerns, or they risk losing support to more radical alternatives.
**Interviewer:** Very insightful, Dr. Schmidt. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these important issues.
**Dr. Schmidt:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important conversation to have as we move closer to the elections.
