['Theodoros Benakis']
Comments for European Interest
Finland’s strong far right party is known for defending policies against immigrants and other vulnerable groups.
“It would be good to make it clear also to the viewers what we mean by the far right.
Oula Silvennoinen: Fascism never went anywhere, neither did the ideas and aims that define the far right in general.
That’s politics of nostalgia, a longing to a largely imagined past that never was, but common to the far right and fascist movements.
The Finns Party started as right-wing populist movement, but has by now definitively made the shift to the radical right, and the far right in general.
