Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

De actievoerders steken vuurwerk af en zwaaien met Nederlandse vlaggen maar ook met prinsenvlaggen.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer wil dat Nederland, in navolging van de Verenigde Staten, de extreemlinkse beweging Antifa aanmerkt als terroristische organisatie. Een motie daartoe van Lidewij de V...

The results indicate that illiberalism has been present in far-right discourse since 1999, but large fluctuations existed until the late 2000s. After 2009, a stable trend evolved, with a marked increase since 2017 and the three dimensions trending together.

The article is openly available.

Empirically, we perform a quantitative content analysis on parliamentary speeches by far-right parties and develop an illiberalism dictionary for the context of the European Parliament. Based on this dictionary, we identify illiberal speeches and report annual percentual shares.

We build on conceptualizations of illiberalism as a set of ideas with a political, a socio-cultural and an economic dimension and argue that illiberalism is a useful perspective to understand how nativism, authoritarianism and populism are integrated into an overarching illiberal agenda.

On this note, here is a thread with recent research on what normalization is and how it happens.

It includes links to references, from my work and that of others.

I tried to tag the authors whenever they are on here, in case you are interested in following their work.

In #Germany, a watershed moment: Just hours after commemorating the Holocaust, the centre-right has accepted the support of the #farright #AfD to pass a (largely symbolic) motion against immigration, tearing a massive hole into the so-called 'firewall', Germany's variety of the cordon sanitaire.

Dass die meisten Statements des AfD Parteitags auf programmatische und diskursive Annäherung von CDU/CSU an AfD verweisen, zeigt einmal mehr wie solches Mainstreaming extrem rechten Parteien nützt und aufgegriffen wird, um es als leeres Versprechen zu bezeichnen und die eigene Position zu stärken.

Die AfD hat sich was Neues überlegt, um Pressearbeit so weit wie möglich zu erschweren. Zwischen den Delegierten und dem Pressebereich sind nicht mehr nur Banderolen, sondern drei Meter Sperrzone und der Gästeblock. #pressefreiheit #rie1101 #Riesa

Alice Weidel und Tino Chrupalla loben explizit Björn Höcke für seinen Wahlsieg. Und nachdem der wegen der SA-Parole „Alles für Deutschland“ verurteilt wurde, wurden hier nun offizielle Herzen verteilt mit „Alice für Deutschland“. #riesa #rie1101

Die AfD ist wieder über 20%. Dabei hat die Bundesregierung doch dafür gesorgt dass die Asylanträge zurückgehen, dass endlich mehr abgeschoben wird, dass die Grenzen kontrolliert, Bezahlkarten eingeführt werden. Könnte es vielleicht sein dass rechte Politik nicht gegen Rechtsextreme hilft?

Thousands have taken to the streets in protest against the pre-election conference that Germany's #farright #AfD is holding in one of their eastern strongholds. This live blog covers the events 👇

Tausende protestieren in Riesa gegen den AfD-Parteitag. Sie ziehen in „Fingern“ durch die sächsische Kleinstadt. Die Polizei setzt teils Gewalt ein.

Tiefer Einblick in das Vorgehen dieser Gurkentruppe und ihrer Obergurke die sich als große Strategen betrachten und demokratischer Öffentlichkeit mit Verachtung begegnen. Ein selbstverliebter Boys Club ohne Sinn für politische Verantwortung. Eine Partei die kein Mandat verdient

The Dutch government has been in office for only 4 months and a bit and the second NSC junior minister has just resigned over conflict with the other governing parties, and especially Wilders PVV. So far, the cabinet characterized by instability, inaction, and pushing the boundaries of rule of law

Politicians from Germany’s AfD met extremist group to discuss deportation ‘masterplan’
Martin Sellner, member of the Identitarian Movement, reportedly spoke of ‘re-migration’ ideasPoliticians from Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, including a personal aide to its leader Alice Weidel, met the head of the rightwing extremist Identitarian Movement and neo-Nazi activists to discuss a “masterplan” for mass deportations in the event of the party coming to power, it has been reported.The meeting, which was first reported by the investigative outlet Correctiv on Wednesday, took place last November at a countryside hotel on the outskirts of Potsdam. It is likely to feed a fraught debate over whether the AfD should be banned due to growing concerns that it poses a fundamental threat to German democracy. Continue reading...
