Helll, just 100 m from where I live, entire streets & houseblocks were leveled as part of the Atlantic Walle.
The term was deemed “too defensive sounding” by nazi Germany from 1942 onward and replaced by other terms like Atlantikwall.
The song itself is quite ambiguous. Can be used both by progressive european federalists and nationalists/fascist, depending on the context.
Another title is needed. The term “Fortress Europe” is too tightly associated with fascism (literally the Nazis used it during WW2 until 1942 for territories occupied by Italy and Germany) and, more recently, with the European immigration and refugee politics of closed borders and FRONTEX pushbacks. Luckily it’s not repeated in the song itself.
(Also, this clearly wants to be covered by Sabaton.)
Last time I used such a feature (which, tbf, was a few years ago) it was a weird translation with word-by-word translations and weird choices putting content in the wrong context.
I’d like to know more about my european neighbors, too, but unfortunately, there’s a language barrier and news reports in english that cover more than the most important stuff is not that common.
We probably need more pan-european media to learn more about Europe.
What kind of right wing? Christian democrats?
Neoliberalism.
Why is Politico for cutting welfare then?
Because part of neoliberalism is to weaken welfare so that people are pressured into accepting exploitative labour conditions.
Wait, do you think chistian democrats are pro welfare? Do you think, neoliberalism is a left leaning ideology?
Stop oversimplifying things please.
I might be wrong but your comment reads as if you think a political opinion automatically aligns with political parties (which would be massively oversimplifying the process of opinion making and political procedure).
Actually, yes. Our healthcare system would be utterly screwed without immigration. No nurses, no doctors, nothing.
