As Europe commemorates the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, far-right leaders express support for Holocaust victims while simultaneously spreading ideologies rooted in hate. Despite solemn declarations against anti-Semitism, many such leaders maintain connections to fascist histories, pursuing a strategic rebranding that allows them to propagate white supremacy under the guise of defending Western civilization. This alarming trend, exacerbated by rising Islamophobia, highlights the troubling normalization of extremist beliefs within mainstream political discourse across Europe, reflecting a disturbing historical cycle of hatred.
This shift allowed far-right figures to capitalize on fears surrounding immigration and changing demographics, reframing their hateful ideologies as a defense of cultural identity.
The resurgence of these ideologies not only threatens civil society but also reflects an unsettling normalization of extremist beliefs within European politics.
