Guinea’s Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah expressed concern on Wednesday about the growing anti-African sentiment in Europe following significant gains by far-right parties in Sunday’s European parliament vote.
Drawing parallels to the rise of fascism before World War II, Bah noted a global trend of radicalization against immigrant populations, which he finds troubling given the large African diaspora in Europe.
Despite these concerns, Bah stated his willingness to collaborate with far-right leaders if they assume power.
In an interview with Radio France Internationale, he specifically mentioned his readiness to work with Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s anti-immigrant National Rally, should Bardella be appointed prime minister.
The National Rally’s recent electoral success over Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance has led Macron to call for snap national elections.
Bah emphasized that a parliament dominated by the National Rally does not overly worry him, expressing confidence in dealing with any government within the French Republic or Europe, and maintaining an optimistic outlook.
