Is Extremism Going Mainstream in Europe?
Manage episode 425287307 series 2302472
On June 9th, Europe's European Union members voted for their next parliament. The election tends to be a practical and mostly predictable affair, where parties across the continent build centrist coalitions, but major victories for the far-right in countries like France, Germany, and Italy are shaking things up.
In 2023, journalist Julia Ebner joined Ray Suarez to share how she went undercover in the world of online extremists. Ebner revealed how conspiracy theories like QAnon have taken hold in Germany.
In this week’s program, Ebner shares how political extremism has moved mainstream, and how the far-right is upending the elections in Europe.
