The Rise of the Far Right across Europe - how deep and widespread is the threat to democracy?

Описание: Across Europe, the far right is gaining ground – reshaping politics, challenging democratic norms, and influencing the debates that define our future.

As the threat to liberal democracy grows deeper and more widespread, this webinar is a chance to understand the forces at play, the risks ahead, and what can be done to protect our shared European values.

Few are more qualified to speak on this subject as our two speakers are. This webinar brings you analysis from two political journalists, John Lloyd, contributing editor at the Financial Times, and Sonia Delesalle-Stolper, chief foreign editor at Libération. This event will be chaired by European Movement UK’s International Officer, Richard Morris.

Together, we will dive into:

An assessment of what we mean when we say ‘Far Right’, and of how deep and widespread the threat of the far right is to democracy across Europe
An analysis of current political trends, electoral successes, and failures of far-right parties in Europe.

A discussion of responses from media, political institutions, and civil society to the growing presence and influence of the far right, of the far right’s impact and how it is shaping debates on European identity, values, and integration.

A look at the solutions available and paths forward.
