  • Marko Krtolica

Abstract

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a great number of political parties
appeared on the European continent which claimed to be part of the new
radical right. The results speak of the elections refer to a much bigger
success of these parties in Europe. The new radical right has become an
important political factor in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland,
Italy, Denmark, Norway, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece
and many other European states. The subject of this paper will be the
values and the rise of the new radical right political parties in Europe.
This paper attempts to prove that globalization, the economic status, the
migration and the disappointment from the democratic modest ruling
elites influence the emerging and rise of the new radical right in Europe
that represents danger to the further development of the democratic and
liberal flows in Europe. The main methods that are used are the
following: method of analysis, historical, normative and political
method. The general conclusion is that the new radical right political
parties in Europe rely on nationalism, nativism, xenophobia, racism,
intolerance and as such, they gain more support by European citizens,
and are a danger to the peaceful development of the democratic societies
in Europe.
