So is he a cool dude or another light fascist?

[-] lemmur@szmer.info 41 points 1 month ago

Well, It's complicated. He's from old-school neoliberal party and is by a lot od people viewed as a absolutne liar. We elected him, because other dominating party was sliding straight into authoritarian régime, so he was a lesser evil.

He's definitely the better Donald T.

[-] lemmur@szmer.info 19 points 1 month ago

Fun fact: He literally is Donald T ;)

I was going to ask if he is one of the right wing idiots, thanks.

[-] lemmur@szmer.info 3 points 1 month ago

In PL there is the right wing and righter wing

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That seems to be the case around the world right now. Democratic governments everywhere are facing surging right wing extremist parties with populist demagogues doing frighteningly well in elections. I just don't see the appeal.

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes but I guess a market liberal is technically right wing but not some authoritarian dipshit like the ones taking over seemingly everywhere.

At least there is the danger of these people taking over.

He’s not perfect, but especially considering the alternatives, he’s damn good.

The previous government was slowly undermining the democracy (e.g. they literally removed Supreme Court judges and illegally put their own ones there that voted always in their favor, they rebuild the public tv to propaganda for their party and they fired a lot of judges that didn’t behave as they wanted).

Then, around a year ago, there were new elections and despite the insane propaganda, due to a massive campaign, that former government lost majority and he got power again. They’re transformed the public TV back and work on reversing much of the harm done. If they also get the presidency in another year, the former party can’t veto much stuff so then they can do even better.

But it’s still awesome that this happened as it’s one rare example of a democracy that was sliding into an authoritarian regime getting back and undoing the harm.

He’s not perfect as is party is fiscally conservative and rather neoliberal, but they are in a coalition with left parties so he’s not like Macron, and that definitely balances it (because they have other priorities). And considering the major other alternative, it’s really amazing that he got elected. :D

When he'll be done with his second mandate can you lend him to us ?

Nah, he's not that great... We already see him giving a silent nod to investors while ignoring how bad housing situation is in the country. Also, coalition with the left is mostly on paper - he claimed he'd clean up the mess with Catholic church reducing its funding. Now the church is getting comparable money from the new government. I don't trust them.
