Timely publication by brilliant @asheinze.bsky.social and @gefjonoff.bsky.social to understand the current wave of far-right politics. Proud to see this important piece featured in @ejprjournal.bsky.social
As we (rightly) focus on the threat of U.S. government funding far-right parties and "think tanks", this excellent @veghzsuzsanna.bsky.social report is an important reminder of the crucial role that the Orbán government already plays in developing and financing a far-right infrastructure in Europe.
Bravo @malojan.bsky.social !

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Thanks @nikkei.com Japan for this interview about the far right in Europe. We spoke also about the differences with the far left and the role of civil society. farpo.eu @scpo-research.bsky.social @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social

Radical right parties in Europe have not moderated. Their positions and rhetoric have entered the mainstream. They have become normalized and legitimized. Unless we understand this, we have little chance of countering their success.
After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.
European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

Massive congrats @mrooduijn.bsky.social
and can't wait to see the amzing research that this grant will inspire!!
What issues matter most to #Voters? 😬
@gefjonoff.bsky.social & @fedetrastulli.bsky.social study 6 European countries to find that different groups care about different issues--and that what people care about isn’t the same as what they think about those issues. 🧭🗳️
Why are cities and rural areas drifting apart politically? 🌄🌆
@indubioproreto.bsky.social & @lhaffert.bsky.social conducted a long-term Swiss study to find the biggest divide is amongst younger generations who hold very different views depending on where they grew up 👶 🔎
Bravo @mariusperrin.bsky.social !
