Europe is facing a deepening ideological crisis after years of promoting its so called values abroad, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The West\u2019s ultraliberal model has reached a \u201ccivilizational dead end\u201d<\/em> and is increasingly restricting the rights of its own citizens, journalists, and political movements, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a panel on Europe\u2019s future on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Zakharova argued that a system which once promoted \u201cfreedom, democracy, and human rights\u201d<\/em> is now facing an ideological crisis as it struggles to uphold those principles at home.<\/p>\n

\u201dWe are witnessing the civilizational dead end of an ultraliberal model that only yesterday claimed to literally teach and reprogram the entire world,\u201d<\/em> she said. \u201cToday, this model cannot even guarantee the declared rights of its own citizens.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Zakharova, political parties, journalists, and public organizations in Western Europe increasingly face pressure if they challenge the dominant narrative. \u201cEither you keep quiet, or you go to jail,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n

She argued that the rise of the internet ended the West\u2019s monopoly over information, prompting authorities to rely on major technology companies to suppress dissenting views. Artificial intelligence, she warned, could become the next stage in what she described as a growing \u201cdigital dictatorship.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Most Western nations imposed sweeping restrictions on RT and other Russian media outlets following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. RT content was subsequently removed or limited on major digital platforms, including YouTube, where the network had amassed around 30 million subscribers before the restrictions were introduced.<\/p>\n

Concerns over censorship and restrictions on public debate have helped fuel support for conservative movements across much of the West. Parties such as Germany\u2019s AfD, France\u2019s National Rally, Italy\u2019s Brothers of Italy, and the Netherlands\u2019 Party for Freedom have gained ground by criticizing political elites, mainstream media, and policies on issues including immigration and national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
