Political Turmoil and Legal Challenges in Europe and Beyond

This chapter explores the political upheaval in Europe, focusing on the disqualification of a far-right leader in France due to legal troubles, while drawing parallels with similar events in Romania and Brazil. It examines the implications of these actions for global democracy and contrasts them with the political dynamics in the U.S., particularly concerning Donald Trump's struggles against legal challenges. The chapter further discusses rising tensions, societal divides, and the potential normalization of political violence linked to public figures and their influences.
