London – For the first time in modern history, the far -right and populist parties are at the top of the surveys in the three main economies in Europe in Germany, France and Great Britain.
A survey on Tuesday showed Alternative for Germany – which is under surveillance by the country’s intelligence services on presumed extremism – is now the most favored by voters. THE Survey by RTL broadcaster put AFD At 26%, before the Christian Democrats in power at 24%.
This is a high watermark to The European far rightAn formerly marginal movement whose virulent anti-immigration, anti-Islam and culture-war policy was avoided by the dominant current a decade ago. Today, these festivals have developed deep ties with President Donald Trump and his Republican allieswhich openly cites nationalists such as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as inspirations on policies and tactics.
For years, National Rally of France has always directed polls before the country’s next presidential election in 2027. And the British British reform, led by Trump Ally and his friend Nigel FarageSince April, most surveys there.
Far -right parties have been elected in recent years in the governments of Italy,, Hungary And elsewhere. The center on the right and the center on the left have hemorracist votes in the midst of high inflation, fears of immigration and the collapse of faith in institutions – All familiar problems in AmericaAlso.
The milestone of Tuesday’s questioning is “a sign of the power of populism, disinformation and failure of established parties to understand what is happening,” said Nic Cheeseman, professor of democracy and international development at the University of England in Birmingham.
Although the extreme right has achieved gains over the past decade, Cheeseman thinks that the polls showing the three best economies in Europe in the far right are “a first – at least in modern times”.
There is no guarantee that London, Berlin and Paris will be governed by far -right parties; The next elections in these countries were only respectively in 2029, 2029 and 2027. These groups are all surveys in the 1920s and 30s in percentage, enough to conduct surveys in European multi -party systems, but not enough to govern alone outside a coalition.
Most European politicians on this former fringe reject The “extreme right” labelWith its historic Nazism connotations which maraudi the continent 80 years ago. Many researchers say that these parts correspond to the academic model, however defined by nativism – the idea that “non -native” groups threaten their social fabric – and severe sanctions for crime.
The roots of the extreme right are in the global financial crisis of 2008, which prompted the government to reduce public services budgets and a drop in living standards, according to some experts, aggravated by the 2011 Arab Spring which gave birth to the civil war in Syria and a mass refugee crisis in Europe four years later.
According to Hans-Jakob Schindler, the director of populism, according to Hans-Jakob Schindler, the director of populism, the director of populism of populism and the war in Ukraine and the war in Ukraine and the war in Ukraine, more recent, such as the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine in Ukraine, such as the factors of stress coronavirus and the war in Ukraine, increased the appeal of populism, an international non -profit group. But populist parties in Europe also exploited social media more powerfully than their more centrist adversaries, he said.
“They are masters to use social media much better than the most established parties,” he said. “When you have easy solutions to complex problems” – as he says populist parties – “it is easier to communicate than complex political problems than the real parts, which make politics rather than doing populism, will have to face.”
