For the latest issue of Confronti (🇮🇹), I was asked to explain the reasons behind the recent success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in polls, its leaning towards Russia, and how conservatives are handling the issue.

15. As colleagues like @caterinafr.bsky.social @pietrocastellig.bsky.social @andreapirro.it and others have argued for years, the far right has become a social movement with various more or less connected units (parties, influencers, hooligans, media) and should be analyzed as such.

Quite surreal report of this weekend’s far-right protest in The Hague 🇳🇱 by teen reporter “Bender” 😳

Elite institutions are the first to fold.

But this is a particularly egregious case of cowardice and gaslighting. Incredible what Palestinian scholars and scholars of Palestine have to endure in this country.

Revealed: Harvard publisher cancels entire journal issue on Palestine shortly before publication

As Harvard’s feud with Trump escalated, so did tensions over an ‘education and Palestine’ issue of a prestigious journal. Scholars blame the ‘Palestine exception’ to academic freedom
