In recent years, a discernible pattern has emerged where prominent right-wing politicians and influential figures find themselves under relentless attack from what can be described as the globalist left-liberal establishment. These attacks often transcend the realm of political disagreement, instead manifesting as orchestrated campaigns involving legal battles, character assassination, and attempts to delegitimize or even prohibit their work. From former U.S. President Donald Trump to French politician Marine Le Pen, Austrian Freedom Party leader Herbert Kickl, and even tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, this phenomenon reveals a broader strategy aimed at suppressing dissent against globalist ideologies.
A Weaponized Legal System: Donald Trump as the Prototype
Donald Trump’s presidency marked a seismic shift in the political landscape. As a new type of a national leader challenging entrenched elites, his tenure was rife with controversies—many of which were amplified or even manufactured by his opponents. Since leaving office, Trump has faced a litany of legal challenges, including civil lawsuits, criminal investigations, and indictments. Critics argue that these legal pursuits are not merely about holding him accountable but are part of a broader strategy to tarnish his political viability and deter his supporters.
For instance, the investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents and his alleged role in the events of January 6, 2021, have raised questions about selective enforcement. Many of his supporters point to a double standard, noting the lack of comparable legal fervor against figures from the opposite political spectrum who have faced similar accusations. This disparity suggests a weaponization of the legal system that tried to disqualify Trump from future political aspirations. But, unsuccessfully.
Marine Le Pen: A Persistent Target in France
Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Rally (formerly National Front), has long been a thorn in the side of the French political establishment. Her platform, which emphasizes national sovereignty, stricter immigration controls, and opposition to European Union overreach, directly challenges the globalist agenda. Consequently, she has been a frequent target of legal and political campaigns.
Le Pen has faced accusations of misusing European Parliament funds, a charge she vehemently and denies. Despite no proved evidence, the allegations have been used to undermine her credibility and portray her as corrupt. Furthermore, she has been subjected to charges of “inciting hatred” for sharing graphic images of ISIS atrocities on social media, an act she defended as raising awareness about terrorism. These legal maneuvers aim to paint her as an extremist, deterring moderate voters and reinforcing her status as a divisive figure.
Herbert Kickl: Austria’s Defender of National Sovereignty
In Austria, Herbert Kickl, leader of the Freedom Party (FPÖ), represents another example of a right-wing politician under fire. Kickl’s staunch opposition to mass migration and his criticism of COVID-19 lockdown measures have made him a target for the Austrian and European establishment. His tenure as Minister of the Interior was marked by significant reforms aimed at curbing illegal immigration and strengthening border controls—policies that directly conflicted with the EU’s more open-border stance.
Since then, Kickl has faced various legal and political challenges, including investigations into his administrative decisions and efforts to link him to “far-right extremism”, how globalists stigmatize everyone who opposes their authoritarian policies.
In December 2024, the Austrian parliament voted to lift the parliamentary immunity of Herbert Kickl, allowing prosecutors to investigate allegations of perjury. The accusations relate to Kickl’s testimony during an April 2024 parliamentary investigation into the potential misuse of public funds for media advertisements during his tenure as Interior Minister (2017–2019). Prosecutors allege Kickl “lied under oath, denying involvement in media advertisement decisions”, despite evidence from WhatsApp chats suggesting otherwise.
Supporters of Kickl argue the decision to lift his immunity is politically motivated, framing it as “lawfare” aimed at discrediting popular right-wing politicians. Critics, however, maintain that the rule of law must apply equally, and no one should be immune to prosecution for alleged crimes. This controversy echoes previous high-profile cases involving Austrian politicians, such as former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, who faced similar legal challenges for perjury earlier in 2024
These campaigns serve to delegitimize Kickl’s leadership and obvious rise of trust and hinder the FPÖ’s growing popularity, which poses a direct threat to Austria’s radical-centrist and globalist parties.
Salvini Faces Trial: Accusations of Lawfare Over Migration Policy
Matteo Salvini, leader of the League party, is currently facing a legal battle in Italy that describe politically motivated. Prosecutors in Palermo have requested a six-year prison sentence for Salvini, accusing him of kidnapping and abuse of office for his actions in 2019 when he, as Interior Minister, blocked 147 migrants aboard the NGO vessel Open Arms from disembarking in Lampedusa.
Supporters of Salvini, including Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, argue that the case represents judicial overreach aimed at punishing a political leader for enforcing a “closed ports” policy designed to curb illegal immigration. Salvini himself has framed the trial as an attack on his defense of Italy’s borders, maintaining that his actions were in line with his ministerial responsibilities.
The trial, which began in 2021 after Salvini’s parliamentary immunity was lifted, has sparked debates over the balance between state sovereignty and human rights, with opponents accusing the judiciary of politicizing legal proceedings
Elon Musk: A New Kind of Threat
While not a politician, Elon Musk’s influence and actions have made him a target for the globalist establishment. As the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Musk’s ventures in clean energy and space exploration should align with progressive goals. However, his acquisition of Twitter and commitment to free speech have positioned him as a disruptive force.
Musk’s decision to release the “Twitter Files,” exposing alleged collusion between social media platforms and government agencies to suppress information, has drawn ire from left-liberal quarters. Accusations of enabling hate speech and misinformation have followed, accompanied by calls for regulatory scrutiny of his businesses. Musk’s critics frame these actions as necessary oversight, but supporters see them as part of a concerted effort to neutralize his influence and undermine his advocacy for free expression. The ongoing processes regarding accusations of Elon Musk are now amplified that he is appointed in new Donald Trump’s administration in USA as one of the key leading figures.
Strategies of Suppression: A Common Playbook
The cases of Trump, Le Pen, Kickl, and Musk (and there are much more cases, practically in every EU country) reveal recurring strategies employed by the globalist left-liberal establishment to undermine right-wing and dissenting figures. These strategies include:
Legal Prosecution: By leveraging the judicial system, opponents can bog down their targets in costly and time-consuming legal battles. Even if charges are ultimately dismissed, the process itself serves as a form of punishment and a means to discredit.
Media Campaigns: Mainstream media often amplifies allegations against right-wing figures, framing them as scandals regardless of their validity. This creates a narrative of misconduct that can sway public opinion.
Censorship and Deplatforming: Figures like Musk, who challenge the status quo on digital platforms, face censorship or regulatory pressure. This tactic seeks to silence dissenting voices and limit their reach.
International Cooperation: Globalist institutions, such as the European Union, often coordinate efforts to marginalize nationalist leaders. For example, EU investigations into Le Pen and Kickl serve to discredit them domestically while aligning with broader globalist objectives.
Social and Economic Ostracism: Beyond political and legal measures, right-wing figures often face boycotts, protests, and reputational attacks that impact their personal and professional lives.
These campaigns against right-wing figures are not isolated incidents but part of a broader ideological struggle. The globalist left-liberal establishment advocates for policies such as open borders, supranational governance, and cultural homogenization—ideas that often conflict with the national and conservative values championed by their opponents. By targeting prominent figures who embody these values, the establishment seeks to discredit the movements they represent.
However, these tactics carry significant risks. Suppressing dissent can deepen societal polarization and erode trust in institutions. When legal systems, media outlets, and regulatory bodies are perceived as partisan tools, they lose their credibility, weakening the very foundations of democracy and peace in every country.
Resistance and Resilience
Despite these challenges, right-wing figures and their movements have demonstrated remarkable resilience. Trump remains a dominant force in American politics, with a loyal base that views him as a victim of systemic bias. Le Pen’s National Rally continues to gain ground in French elections, reflecting growing discontent with the globalist agenda. Kickl’s Freedom Party has seen a resurgence in Austria, while Musk’s ventures remain influential despite mounting opposition.
This resilience underscores a critical point: efforts to suppress dissent often have the opposite effect, galvanizing supporters and drawing attention to the very issues establishment forces seek to downplay. The rise of alternative media platforms and the increasing skepticism of mainstream narratives further empower these movements, ensuring that their voices are heard.
The warfare against right-wing politicians and influential figures like Trump, Le Pen, Kickl, and Musk reflects a deeper ideological conflict between globalist and nationalist visions for the future. While the tactics employed by the globalist left-liberal establishment aim to marginalize their opponents, they also reveal the establishment’s insecurity in the face of growing conservative movements.
As these battles continue, the outcomes will shape the political landscape for years to come. Whether through legal battles, media narratives, or grassroots mobilization, the struggle for ideological dominance underscores the enduring tensions within the old left-liberal system. For national-conservative figures and the peoples they represent, the path forward requires not only resilience but also a strategic approach to countering these challenges and advocating for their vision of sovereignty, self-determination and freedom.
