Rise of Reform Party Among Young Voters

Recent polling data indicates significant support for the Reform Party among younger voters and males, positioning them as a key player in upcoming elections, with strong appeal among 16-17 year-olds and equal support from males, challenging traditional party dominance. In France, concerns arise over the differing attention to hate speech incidents involving Islamist extremism and far-right events like neo-Nazi festivals, shedding light on the risks posed by white power music scenes and their connections to radicalization. The rise of the far-right across Europe, including in Germany, is attributed to various factors such as societal erosion, political illusions, and setbacks in achieving social equality and democratic strengthening, leading to a shift towards extreme right-wing ideologies in EU member states.
