A wave of extremist far-right movements with chilling echoes of the Nazis is being "fueled" by Donald Trump, writes Sadiq Khan on 80th anniversary of World War II.
The rise of far-right movements and leaders — fueled by President Donald Trump, the “global poster boy for white nationalism” — threatens to wipe out the lessons of World War II, London Mayor Sadiq Khan charged in a scathing essay Saturday.
But now, “for the first time in more than 70 years, it seems the lessons of the second world war are genuinely at risk of being forgotten or, worse still, being rewritten,” he added. In addition, democratic values, including the rule of law, a free press and independent judiciary are “under siege,” he wrote. “Vulnerable, often minority, communities are being demonized ... and in appalling new parallels with the horrors of the past, migrants, refugees, people of color, LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities are bearing the brunt,” he added.
We owe it those lost in World War II to defend the “ideals they died for” and ensure that the “more peaceful and stable world they built lasts for generations to come,” he declared.
