Continued progress of the wave far-right in Europe. After the victory of ultra-nationalist parties in Italy, Hungary, Holland, Belgium, Sweden and France, Finland has been the latest country to fall before the rise of populist forces: this past weekend, the party of the True Finns has made with 19% of the vote, becoming the third power politics.
Taking advantage of a racist and xenophobic political discourse in times of economic crisis, most parties have fostered hostility towards immigrants and other minorities to get votes. Although in some countries the entry of the far right in national politics has been occurring for several years, much of the continent in 2010 and the first months of 2011 have been key.
Just a year ago, the Northern League won a tremendous victory in regional elections in Italy, getting the support of 50% of voters, consolidating its position in the government of Silvio Berlusconi. One of their representatives in the Council of Ministers, Roberto Maroni, the Interior-ideological practice of returning the boats full of illegal immigrants to Libya, despite protests by the Red Cross and Catholic bishops to face heavy-handed government with those seeking asylum, however, 76% of Italians have shown for these measures, others have criticized as xenophobic.
Around the same time, the Movement for a Better Hungary, known as' Jobbik'-managed to become the third political force in Hungary when voters decided to 'punish' the country's socialist government. Clearly right-wing party, Jobbik known for their political views and anti-Semitic attacks on gypsies, homosexuals and toward immigrants and several Western media have accused the party of being a fascist.
The party stands for his fervent defense of the Hungarian minorities in neighboring states, advocates of such attempts to achieve autonomy, and support for Magyar Guard, a paramilitary group that has been compared to Hitler Sturmabteilung. Despite their considerable support, the party has been out of government since the conservative party, Fidesz, enjoys an absolute majority in Parliament.
In June came the turn of the Netherlands and Belgium, where the ultranationalist parties also achieved significant victories. In the Netherlands the Freedom Party of Geert Wilders got 15.5% of the vote. The political group Wilders, a popular xenophobic calls for the registration of citizens by ethnic group, the restriction of immigrants from Arab countries, the elimination of state support for programs to fight against climate change, and establishment of a rule that requires the ability to speak Flemish to access state services.
Although Wilders's party supports the Conservative government, not part of it. In Belgium, the ultranationalist party 'traditional' in the country, the Vlaams Belang, won 7.8% of the vote. Although the results represented a reversal for the party, which won 12% of the vote in 2007 - the decline in his popularity has nothing to do with liberalization of the Belgian citizenship, but the radicalization of the other pro-independence parties that to adopt many of its policies, ended up stealing many of their voters.
The VB requires the independence of the Flemish regions of the country and the imposition of strict limits on immigration. All immigrants have agreed to assume the Flemish language and culture, completely rejected the concept of multiculturalism. In September the party the Sweden Democrats managed to enter parliament for the first time, with 5.7% of the vote.
The party, known for its xenophobic proposals, caused a scandal during the election campaign by issuing a statement in which an old Swede, he was unable to compete in a race with a woman wearing a burka. The Democrats stand by their rejection of multiculturalism and ensure that all problems of Sweden, and the economic crisis, in particular, are the fault of immigrants.
Paradoxically, the party has nevertheless managed to find Muslim voters by appealing to the same hostility towards homosexuals. Democrats have also targeted the indigenous minority of the Sami, ensuring that the special privileges granted to the group are contrary to democratic principles in the country.
Despite his entry into Parliament, the Conservative government has rejected the group's support. In France, the cantonal elections of March have given great support to Marine Le Pen and his National Front. While attendance was less than 37%, the ultranationalist group took 10.01% of the vote.
More shocking is the fact that the president's party is ahead of Nicolas Sarkozy in the French preferences. Le Pen maintains the principles of the party more or less equal to that set his father, Jean Marie, to found the political group. The National Front calls for a "return to traditional values," limit access to abortion, provide financial support for housewives, "the distancing of the European Union and the promotion of a protectionist economic policy.
Calls also prohibit the immigration of North African and Arab countries, and the "repatriation" of French citizens of foreign origin.
