The next generation of European far-right leaders
Today in the EU - A podcast by Euractiv
The rise of a young generation of far-right voters - conservative, anti-immigration, and fiercely nationalist - is a phenomenon shaping new electoral strategies all over Europe. Across France and Italy, a strong bond has historically linked prominent far-right parties, from Jordan Bardella’s Rassemblement National to Giorgia Meloni’s Fratelli d'Italia, and various youth organisations, revealing a backbone of Islamophobia, fascism, and antisemitism, that particularly attracts young voters. In this episode, host Giada Santana and journalists Renée Bertini and Luigi Scarano discuss trends in radical youth movements in France and Italy, drawing on their on-the-ground experience.
