How do leaders make promises?

Leaders often make promises to gain support and trust, particularly during elections or when addressing public concerns. These promises can range from policy changes to economic improvements. In the context of the story, the far-right narratives might implicitly promise solutions to perceived problems, aiming to attract followers who feel their concerns are being ignored by mainstream politics.
