    Why do foreign far-right governments need support from Swiss people?

      Because Xenophobia is becoming like a religion to the Nazis.
      We’ve seen USA also trying to influence other European countries, like Elon Musk supporting AfD and White house supporting several right wing parties in Europe.

      The fact that the White house did it and even send a high profile official to Hungary to support Orban, is actually against international law!!!

      That said I think it’s almost only Russia, USA and Israel that do it. But that is a lot of illegal meddling.

        almost only Russia, USA and Israel that do it.

        The EU protected Romania from being influenced. At least passively the EU is involved. Then there are the various forms of financial support. We pay them not without expectations.

      Because we are a democracy. Striking fear into the hearts of the simple minded is one of the easiest ways to make them vote against their interests. Just like Brexit.
