Why are far-right political parties gaining significant popularity across the globe today?
In short: Political researcher Daphne Halikiopoulou examines the strategies behind the global rise of far-right movements. By analyzing how these leaders exploit economic anxiety and institutional distrust, she explains the clever rebranding tactics that allow right-wing policies to gain mainstream traction.
In this talk recorded on May 10, 2025, at TEDxVitoriaGasteiz, Halikiopoulou explores the mechanisms that modern far-right leaders use to expand their influence. Rather than relying solely on traditional rhetoric, these figures effectively tap into the underlying economic insecurities and the widespread skepticism citizens feel toward established political institutions.
The presentation highlights how these parties reframe their agendas to appear more palatable to broader audiences. By understanding these rebranding efforts, observers can better grasp why these movements are successfully capturing voter attention in diverse political landscapes.
