I don’t believe that this is populism, as others said. No one cares about English words in bureaucracy and probably few of their voters knew or cared about synthetic meat. I think that these people are nostalgic of the good old times and they can’t believe that after 100 years they are in power again. After staying put for few months they are revealing themselves for what they are.

As few of them have experience as leaders, all they can do is mimic fascism. I believe that many of these initiatives are personal, but no one is stopping them as these behaviors are praised in their environment. In the meantime they will lose money from the recovery and resiliency plan from Europe because of their incompetency, and they will fail to promote an European plan for immigration. They’ll probably even get more votes because of this as they master the art of choosing an enemy (Europe, immigrants) and ride people’s anger.
