The recent success of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPO), echoing victories of far-right parties across Europe, highlights the growing acceptance of ethnocentric nationalism, leaving minority groups vulnerable.
Under Herbert Kickl, the FPO has reclaimed ideas from extremist groups, promoting concepts like forced repatriation to foster a homogenous society, indicating a dangerous shift in political dialog.
The rise of far-right parties across Europe reflects a troubling trend in liberal democracies, where leaders adopt extremist ideas to cultivate a following, endangering social cohesion.
FPO's allegations against LGBT+ groups and conspiracy theories around Covid indicate a strategic effort to divide society further, capitalizing on fears rather than fostering unity.
