The US government faces a major challenge with the increase in the number of explosive packages found by a number of politicians in Washington. While no terrorist has claimed responsibility, it is often said that the extreme right is leading "income terrorism" in the country.
On Thursday, the US authorities announced the discovery of more suspicious packages, sent to former Vice President Joe Biden at a postal facility in Newcastle County, Delaware, as well as to actor Robert De Niro, who delivered tirade to Tramp at the Tony Awards in June.
In addition to critics of President Donald Trump less than two weeks before midterm elections in the US Congress, the political scene may change if the opposition is able to deprive Trump of a majority stake.
None of the nine parcels exploded and no reports of casualties were reported. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump was briefed on the parcels that targeted Biden and De Niro.
The White House has condemned an attempt to commit acts of violence, and its spokeswoman said it would continue to direct federal resources to ongoing investigations.
But some prominent Democrats have described the threats as a symptom of the rude political speech promoted by President Donald Trump.
The first parcel, found on Monday, was directed at Soros, a billionaire who is largely targeted by conspiracy theories of the right wing.
In a statement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said the parcels "contained containers that could cause damage," and other officials described them as all similar to those sent to the Soros house and later detonated by the police.
The target audience was repeatedly accused by right-wing critics. Former US President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Hillary Rodham Clinton's Eric Holder, were among those targeted.
John Brennan, former director of Central Intelligence, George Soros, one of the Democrats' top donors, and Maxine Waters, a California congressman and outspoken critic of Trump, were also targeted.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and New York Mayor Bill de Palazzo described the parcels as "a terrorist act ... someone trying to intimidate and silence voices in the country using violence."
In a speech - with the start of the suspicious parcels - Trump said that the security and safety of citizens are his priority, and that the United States will not be subject to political threats, but returned today and attacked the media.
A very large part of the anger we see today in our society is due to misdirected and inaccurate reports on the mainstream media, which I refer to as false news," Trump wrote on Twitter today. "It has become extremely bad and ugliness beyond description. On the mainstream media discipline, quickly! ».
On the other hand, Trump's opponents see the parcels as an actual result of his hate speech against his opponents, most recently last week.
Extremist right-wing groups are political groups with extremist religious affiliations and also anti-Muslim attitudes and refugees in general.
The emergence of the extreme right on the European political scene is one of the most important political phenomena of the last two decades of the last century in Europe. This phenomenon is not on one level in the whole of Europe, as it varies from state to state, and from time to time.
