The extremist European populist right parties ideologies and politics

Abstract

The rise of the populist far-right and its prominence within the political landscape in the European countries is a political and social phenomenon that has gained unprecedented attention whether from governments, study centres, academic research, civil society, and human rights organizations all over the world. This can be attributed to an array of reasons among which are the rise of some of the far-right parties and politicians to power. Those parties and politicians endorse ideologies, principles, programs, and policies based on racism, radicalism, xenophobia, hate speech, and instigating violence against refugees, asylum seekers, and minorities, especially, the Islamic minorities.
