  • Example: Italy elected Giorgia Meloni as its first far-right leader since Benito Mussolini in October 2022, precisely a century after Mussolini took power. 
  • Concerns associated with Far-Right Politics:
    • Anti-Immigration Sentiment: The far-right’s rise is partly driven by opposition to immigration. This sentiment is a legacy of colonialism and has been exacerbated by recent socio-economic challenges.
      • In Europe, they oppose immigration from Africa and Asia. 
    • Integration Challenges: Prominent football players like Kylian Mbappé and Karim Benzema, symbolize the integration issues. 
      • Recently, Kylian Mbappé stated that he doesn’t want to represent a country that doesn’t correspond to his values. 
    • Policy Implications: Far-right believers may implement stricter immigration policies, affecting migrants and refugees and could lead to increased xenophobia and social divisions.
      • They believe in traditional values and oppose becoming a part of organizations like the European Union as it harms their sovereignty and impacts their resources.
  • Neo-Fascism: It revives fascist principles, emphasizing extreme nationalism, authoritarianism, discrimination against minorities and racial supremacy.
