The Rise of Populism and Extremist Parties in Europe

The Rise of Populism and Extremist Parties in Europe

Michel Hastings
3/5 ( ratings)
Today the risk of widespread populism is a reality in Europe
and could rapidly become a durable force. Today it is
still probably manageable but could spiral out of control.
It is the way Europe works that contributes to this rise in
populism alongside the social and economic context and
the specific agendas of each individual member state.
But on the other hand, couldn’t Europe be the motor for
fighting and defeating this trend? This is the key issue
with difficulties ahead. We need a European vision which
encourages member states to fight against whatever it
is that feeds populism and these “arrangements” with
democratic practices that influence private interests over
the general interest. We need initiatives that give a solid
meaning to the concept of what European citizenship is;
a space that gives real weight to civil society; a strong
capacity for decision-making with none of the inertia of
compromise. We have to prove that a better organized
Europe can improve the daily lives of European citizens.
All this justifies a strong mobilization in the coming
months.
