Friends of Europe podcastsPolicy Voices | Far-right in Europe: How did we get here?If recent elections in The Netherlands, Slovakia and Portugal taught us anything is that the far-right is making serious gains across the continent and is a force to be reckoned with. With only two months to go before the entire union heads to the polls, we at Friends of Europe felt that it was necessary to dedicate some time to this movement.
Yes, we understand the rise of the far-right as a threat to democracy itself. Yes, we believe it should be fought. And that is why we are bringing you a three-part series on the rise of the far-right...2024-04-0533 min

Hertie SchoolThe rise of populism and the 2019 European Parliament election: Causes and implications for EuropeThe upcoming 2019 European parliament election is increasingly portrayed as a fundamental turning point in the process of European integration. Following electoral gains in previous European and national elections in recent years, anti-EU populist parties are expected to increase their support even further, challenging the European project at its core. How can we explain the support of these parties and what are the implications for the future of Europe?
In this talk, Daphne Halikiopoulou addresses these questions by focusing on multiple dimensions of populism. She argues that since the EP elections are considered “second order elections,” they will be used to cast...2019-04-031h 25

The Briefing RoomEurope's Illiberal DemocraciesIlliberal democracy is gaining traction across Europe - a political philosophy which in part draws support from the far right, championing anti-migrant and anti-EU sentiment. Among the most visible illiberal democrats' is Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban who believes in the idea of nation states that govern in the interests of their indigenous populations, unencumbered by concepts like human rights, civil liberties and internationalism. David Aaronovitch explores how ideas once found on Europe's political fringes are becoming increasingly mainstream.

Point of InquiryRadical Nationalism in Greece and the Romance of “No,” with Daphne Halikiopoulou
On July 5th, 2015 Greece said no to a bailout and austerity measures that would have kept them in the eurozone, lending more uncertainty to an already weakened financial structure. The country that birthed Western democracy has found itself at a standstill, with political factions unable or unwilling to find common ground.
Here to discuss the psychological and historical context behind Greece's struggle is Dr. Daphne Halikiopoulou, an expert in radical nationalism and populism, and the culture and politics of Greece.

Beyond BeliefGreeceIn January Alexis Tsipras became Prime Minister of Greece and formed a coalition government with the nationalist Independent Greek Party. Tsipras is a radical, committed to ending austerity. He is also an atheist who publicly declared that he wants to move Greece in a secular direction. That would be a radical move, for Greek Orthodoxy is the only legally recognised religion and may command the loyalty of up to 97% of the Greek people. Tsipras did not take a religious oath on taking office. But since then he has been seen attending Orthodox Services; and has been making friendly overtures...2015-06-0827 min
