Rena Dourou commented that the recent U.S. midterm elections marked a defeat for the forces she described as Trumpism. She said the loss reflected a rejection of attacks on democracy, rising xenophobia, disrespect for citizens’ dignity, and attempts to erode social cohesion. The remarks linked the electoral outcome to a broader struggle over democratic values. Dourou framed the result as a step toward protecting democratic institutions. She emphasized that the failure of those extremist tendencies originated in the United States.
