Explaining the Rapid Rise of the Xenophobic Right in Contemporary Europe. The last three decades have witnessed a remarkable rise in xenophobic, deeply conservative, and even extreme right- wing parties across much of Europe.[1] Whereas thirty years ago most xenophobic parties failed to even pass the 5% minimum voter threshold that is typically required to enter government, it can be argued that they now constitute as much as ~2. Austria, and arguably have reached the ~7. Hungary.[2] By 1. Austrians—who traditionally tout themselves as the “first victims” of the Third Reich—had elected the prominent nationalist and accused Holocaust denier[3] Jörg Haider as the governor of Carinthia and given his Freedom Party more than 2. Haider proceeded to personally help dismantle multilingual street signs that were erected for the local Slovene minority.[4] The Golden Dawn party, which now has more than ~7% of the national vote in Greece, often marches in the streets of Athens with Rune- emblazoned flags and jackboots that easily remind the older generations of the German occupation of 1. Most recently, the Golden Dawn has distributed free meals to the racially “authentic” Greek public.[5] At the same time, prominent members of Hungary’s powerful Jobbik party have even called for the government to prepare lists of Jews who might “[pose a] threat to Hungarian national security.”[6]Hoping to understand these surprising changes in the European political climate, this post will briefly analyze the characteristics of the xenophobic right as of 2.

The rough percentages listed next to the parties refer to their approximate share of national parliaments according to the most recent elections, and are corroborated with each country’s respective government websites. It will become apparent that it is very difficult to locate common patterns that might explain when and why the far- right takes hold in Europe. The shift across Europe towards the right is perhaps as surprising as it is alarming, considering that the specters of World War II and totalitarianism are still ripe in the historical memory of virtually all European societies.

Even more surprising, the xenophobic right has enjoyed some of its greatest successes in countries that are usually associated with liberalism and multiculturalism, including Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Even in supposedly tolerant Switzerland, the powerful Swiss People’s Party (~2. Far- right, racist parties like Vlaams Blok in Belgium were gaining in popularity until they were banned for extremism in 2. In the 2. 00. 3 elections, the Vlaams Blok won almost 1. Chamber of Representatives. Observers in the West have especially struggled to comprehend how quickly the extreme right has emerged in Greece, the supposed birthplace of democracy. The growing popularity of the right across the continent is a source of great concern for human rights groups in Brussels, which routinely encourage national courts to ban xenophobic parties on the grounds that they breach international protections against racism.

Currents. However, it is critical to understand that “the right” cannot be homogenized or reduced to the typical imagery of fascism, neo- Nazism, racism, or dictatorship that might emerge in our minds when we think of the right in European history. Xenophobic parties have garnered increasing support from voters of diverse political ideologies, primarily because of growing disaffection with the status quo. As the vulnerabilities of the European Union become more apparent, increasing numbers are calling for reform of pan- European economics, integration, open border immigration, and multiculturalism—principles that have shaped the development of Europe since World War II.

With skyrocketing unemployment across most of the continent, massive immigration from Africa, Asia, and the Balkans into Western Europe, and what many feel to be a broken economic and political structure of the European Union, voters of various backgrounds seem to be choosing radically different solutions to the ongoing crises in Europe. With this in mind, it is important to recognize that political movements of the xenophobic right are just as varied as social democratic and far- left parties. They include traditionalists, pro- Europeanists, Euroskeptics, democrats, nationalists, racialists, neo- Nazis, and even Greens. The vast majority of xenophobic parties calling for restricted immigration are obdurately democratic. Most advocate a traditional, conservative, or even moderate approach to resolving Europe’s problems within the democratic process. These relatively moderate nationalists include the True Finns of Finland (~1. Sweden Democrats (~6%), the Danish People’s Party (~1.

People’s Party of Portugal (~1. Even the ruling Fidesz Party of Hungary (~5. Western media as far- right or even dictatorial after it amended the constitution to strengthen executive powers.[8] In some countries, such as Serbia and France, far- right parties have little parliamentary strength but still boast very popular public figures. The Front National of France has only two seats in the National Assembly out of 5. Marine Le Pen came in third in the 2. The extremist, racialist Serbian Radical Party is not even in the national government, but its former leader Tomislav Nikolić was elected president of Serbia in 2.

In short, we should be wary about placing all xenophobic movements in the same category. They vary as much in regard to their popular support as they do in regard to their ideology, and not all of them embrace anti- democratic, fascist, or authoritarian agendas. Although all of these parties have their share of supporters who take a more violent approach to tackling immigration, most parties on “the far- right” are better described as conservative and xenophobic. The majority advocate a multi- party democratic system and do not call for any future constitutional changes that might repudiate democratic checks and balances. Most call for a non- violent solution to Europe’s economic and immigration issues. Even such nationalist parties as the New Flemish Alliance (~1. Vlaams Belang (~8%) of Belgium are staunchly ethnic nationalist, but their ideology springs just as much from a desire to strengthen the rights of the Flemish population as it does from their plans to target immigrants.

The same tendency applies to the rather moderate National Alliance of Latvia (~1. Order & Justice Party of Lithuania (~1.

Russian minorities who settled in these states during the Soviet era. The only major elected parties that take an aggressive, racialist, militant stance are the Jobbik Party of Hungary (~1. Svoboda of Ukraine (~1.

Golden Dawn of Greece (~7%), and “Attack!” of Bulgaria (~1. For example, whereas most Greek parties are at least to some extent cultural nationalists (including the PASOK socialists) who allow immigrants like Albanians to assimilate into Greek culture, only the Golden Dawn often sees “Greek” as an exclusive racial category. The Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian far- right often makes similar exclusions. By contrast, “moderate nationalists” like the Sweden Democrats are more interested in curbing unrestricted immigration than they are in racial issues. Quite different are more militant parties like Jobbik, which is often accused of having links to the Hungarian Guard (Magyar Gárda), a quasi- paramilitary organization that has been compared to the brownshirts of the German SA.[9] While Bulgarian nationalists, the Golden Dawn, and Svoboda do not have equivalent organizations, their supporters have been widely linked to vandalism and assaults against immigrants, mosques, and synagogues in Athens, Sofia, and Kiev.[1.
