Varoufakis stressed that “I think Le Pen is a fascist, personally. I’d like to see her be destroyed politically.” At the same time, in his view, lawfare “has been disproportionately waged against the outer Right, because the Left has disappeared”. The Greek politician compared Le Pen’s treatment to the means used by the Democratic Party against Donald Trump, only “the French are doing it in a more obvious, less defensible way than the American Democrats.”
Lol @ destroying her politically, as if that would ever work.
He also took away the wrong lesson for how the Dems treated Trump, as if they were too hard on him. LePen’s treatement is actually quite the opposite of the way the Dems treated Trump. Does he really think if the Dems attacked Trump less that they could’ve won? Usually his analysis is pretty decent, but I struggle to see his logic here.
Surprised Yanis has this opinion
