> What exactly are the actual issues and the solutions you propose other than speech censorship to ban the right wing opinions you dislike?
Why is it other than? That'd be a start for one, hate speech shouldn't have a place in our society.
> People in EU don't care if a US billionaire Elon makes the Nazi salute in the US, where it's not illegal
It's not about the salute itself. It's about what it says about his views.
> We don't have a democracy when the EU representative, Ursula v.d. Leyen is not democratically elected by the people
That's a bullshit talking point. The EU commission is appointed by our democratically elected governments, the same way the US president is appointed by electors. It's one level of indirection in both cases, they are the same amount of democratic.
Furthermore, vdL is the right wing candidate. The EU has been under right wing control for as long as I can remember.

You do realize that by ignoring and suppressing the opinions and voices of people you dislike, you're advocating for censorship and basically implementing the same politics of fascism and tyranny that you claim to be against, right?
"Hate speech" is such a vague, broad and misused term that it's at the core abused of EU censorship actions. "You're against illegal migration? HATE SPEECH! BAN! CENSOR!"
This abuse of hate speech laws obviously doesn't work well with the voters and leads to more animosity, and feelings that the system is rigged against democracy by those in power, which causes voters to lash out by choosing the most extreme candidate that's against the status quo in order to flip the monopoly board. And the EU powers instead of admitting this and backtracking on it and making room for open conversations, simply ignores, bans, censors all contrarian options and candidates that go against the status quo, leading to a negative political feedback loop we see in the last 5-10 years: Brexit, Trump, LePenn, Georgescu, etc.
>The EU commission is appointed by our democratically elected governments
Yes, emphasis on appointed, appointed is not the same as elected. Hence, not democratically elected. How many EU taxpayers support and would vote for VdL if given the vote?
>Furthermore, VdL is the right wing candidate. The EU has been under right wing control for as long as I can remember.
Sorry to break it to you, but then your definition of right wing is super skewed.
"fascism" isn't a vague term meaning "government does things I don't like". It's a specific right wing ideology not at all related to what I was talking about.
> Yes, emphasis on appointed, appointed is not the same as elected. Hence, not democratically elected.
Appointed just like the US president or any minister in any democratic government ever. Are those not democratic?
