Auberon Waugh, son of novelist Evelyn Waugh, passed away 25 years ago, having carved out a niche in journalism and fiction, notably as a rightwing pro-European. He viewed the European project as a bulwark against American cultural dominance, a perspective that could gain traction among future generations of the hard right as they face global challenges. This shift reflects a broader trend where the notion of European unity evolves from being a liberal ideal to a necessity for cultural survival. As sentiments around “European civilization” grow, the hard right may eventually embrace a federalist Europe, changing the political landscape significantly.
