Closing remarks and ideas how to stop the advance of the far-right.

Background

Far-right parties have been advancing in Europe and some of their discourses and policies have become mainstream. These parties may increase their influence after the upcoming 2023 elections in Slovakia and Poland, as well as after the 2024 European elections. Although their similarities are often evoked, their local policies may be quite different. Yet, as time passes by, both rhetoric and policies are becoming more extreme.

Is there a red line that cannot crossed? Does the red line differ from country to country?

Target Groups

Austrian and international journalists, thinktank analysts, and academics.
