I think the procedure is more starve said country of funds, encourage the opposition, depose the previous ruling elite, replace with a malleable new one who you fund.

Apparently, its now classified as an "electoral autocracy". No surprise that Swedens second largest party the Swedish Democrats who were founded by an SS member are backing them.

What happened to Dubversion ?
I think it’s the EU’s stance on Ukraine that’s the catalyst for the shift to the right across the various countries, I think so far there’s Hungry, Sweden and Italy next one to go Poland

Not in Italy it isn't. The more to populism, and the hard right goes back well before Ukraine.
One factor in the FdI's rise support is that it is the only significant party that was not part of Draghi's technocratic government.

Remarkable speech this morning by Jospeh Borrell re: EU's flatfooted and pisspoor response to the Ukraine crisis and complete inability to grapple with multiple security challenges.
Admits that the world which allowed the EU to prosper- cheap Russian gas + cheap Chinese labour & generous market access + US-backed security, has vanished, and the EU needs to up its game.
Blunt stuff for a bloc normally known for masterful obfuscation, saying the opposite of what it actually means, and covering up hypocrisy & doublespeak with made up new words.
