so that's it from us up to next as yours goes to the pulse we ask, does the economy mats it to the far right? that's a business dealings in just a moment. i'm a little outside. thanks for watching. by the goal for is test one of 79 focuses everything is simply designed so i can do this which gives me extreme freedom. how does this time, jim? and champion to his commitment. holly, i'm the sound of football dogs, june 13th on d. w. 2024 is the biggest election year in global history. and many of the several 1000000000 voters costing ballots. throwing their supports behind the so called fire rice. the far right is,
5:16 am
has gain ground in many parts of the world, particularly in europe. across the continent far right parties have a significant foothold in many national tournaments and some are already in power for what role in his economics played and driving their popularity. they've been very successful, successful. and in recruiting votes from voters with low economic prospects in jobs and sectors generally decline. those economic matter, of course, well, it really does, particularly for those who is a q is it drives a lot of the salience. both these with our sample responses, what do the parties themselves say about the economy? you watch what happens if i, when we're going to bring those miners back, you're going to be so proud of your friends that you're going to be. so for. 5 out of your country in the sense that they call them me is spell them basically and
5:17 am
extension of the culture war. and how do business leaders feel about the prospect of governments led by the fire, right? if the party like you and the says, we need to get now let's do european union, we're against european union. this is very harmful to my business answers to these questions on more on business beyond we hear the term far, right? a lot know it is. you're going to hear a lot in this episode, but what does it actually mean? and is it the right term to use in the you political parties affiliated to a group in the european parliament called identity and democracy routine, the levels as far right? some of the themes which bind them nationalism strong, anti immigration sentiment on your skepticism. so we're talking about party such as francis national riley, the netherlands party for freedom, along with several others across the u. many designated police prime minister, georgie,
5:18 am
and maloney and hunger is prime minister victor oregon as far right. it's also used for germany's f d. donald trump and the mac, a movement of the us and a times even with the conservative party in the u. k. what some experts say the term fire rice doesn't work anymore. one is the political scientist pippin iris from harvard university. actually. so just basically because i just think it's way up to us. it's an old fashion to him. because europeans used to think of everything in the front ever since the 1st generation. and that makes some sense when you had a concern to consider democrats and you had social democrats and social responses. nowadays, it's more complicated. she thinks plastic left right, divides over the economy gradually being superseded by a split over cultural issues. and it's a wide range of issues or issues. like, for example, abortion, reproductive rights of the 2 rugs, nationalist, or business customer pulsing, isn't human rights. thus there's a sense of
5:19 am
a strong state, it helps explain why you're probably more likely to hear politicians like donald trump or victor, oregon, the crying, the so called woke agenda. then discussing economic policy. don't people gain tools about populism, physically they to him, but really it's about the values about the moral issues and the social issues which to box. so i think i'm positive goals, i think has integration in europe. but many other issues is that going on that? but i think nowadays, the idea that there's a simple unit dimensional left right spectrum is more misleading and confused is more than actually helps us to understand why these parties appealed to a wide variety of different places. but when these parties do speak about the economy, what did they say? they obviously don't all speak with one voice and they have their own domestic agendas. but there are some areas where that tend to agree. on. one, is a strong opposition to globalization. during his successful 2016 us presidential election campaign, donald trump topped into a parent folder frustration around
5:20 am
a globalized economy. our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization, moving our jobs, our wealth, and our factories to mexico, and overseas. globalization is made the financial lead, who donate to politicians very, very wealthy. i used to be one of them. others, such as francis marine le pen have used the word globalization as a catch all term to reflect many of what she sees of societies is. the political choice, so the french people will have to make this clear why most of my car, which is the bit he's us here on the view, but i is, are you certainly, while globalization and secure. yeah. the to so, so brutality. the war of the 2nd all again, store the economic run side getting of a large corporation. and the nice leanna fix says the backlash against
5:21 am
globalization has now become quite mainstream boss. that the idea chimed strongly was an economic idea central the far right movements. national self sufficiency and criticism, the wide twig makes is linked to a more cultural idea of why don't we go back to the golden age, which has never existed of the nation state where every country can decide whatever they want to do from the south is not dependent on other companies, and that is obviously an illusion that age has never really existed until that's what trained always plays with important or for any nation state. but being opposed to globalization goes well with another thread. common to far right movements, nostalgia for old industry, and a pledge to bring it back. there's a host of research showing all these voters low and middle class working class have experienced stages,
5:22 am
anxieties in the sense that they are in jobs. that come with the pressure from being das realization, from tex, logical change from globalization. trump himself said he was going to stand for the coal mine, those virginia after the rust belt in michigan. and it does not send that to play with the space. um, people own said, well look, you probably compet stool manufacturing industry, but at least fix for us. he speaks for all concerns. another part of the anti globalization backlash among fire right movements is opposition to multilateralism . in europe, that typically means fierce opposition to the, you know, used to be an agreement, for example, about your benefits to be in the up in union. and there was probably, there's a question about that. the idea was you'd have free markets and you have the union and you just have basically a variety of different standards as well that could be set. and to be recognized within that. since the 2016 briggs of both various far right parties in europe afflicted with n t, you positions. although some notice a softening,
5:23 am
since the turbulence of the u. k is excess or not all firewood parties, if you do mind, for example, the end of the year, can you tell me, let me for instance, pass the depth to had a job for which and this trying to change. do you union phone with them and seems to be much more mainstream than what was expected? and i mean, the pen in funds also has stepped away. like against them, leave the ice maker pay monthly. you're going to, you put unit, but it sort of again for you, do you get one party who's on t e? u position has not softened too much. is germany's alternative to you for deutschland or the f d. currently, the 2nd most popular party in the country going by opinion polls that party was founded in 2013, in response to the euro zone crisis. understandably, it was fiercely your skeptic roots, which has held onto, was also developing a broader nationalistic anti immigration philosophy. they asked to explicitly by
5:24 am
the color, i think i'd have sort of not told down the language both 20 you opinion. they at least and regularly tubs, the prospect of a referendum on germany's a membership. it also wants the country to leave the your currency area. and those positions have enhanced the parties popularity since july 2022 support for the f d. a nationwide opinion polls more than doubled to a high of 22 percent in january 2024. that's come down by a few points since the party is current to the 2nd most popular in germany. but the f d is beset by controversy. they are officially designated as a suspected extremist organization. this year there have been huge protest calling for them to be fund. one of the main reasons was a secret meeting. the party was involved in last november with several right wing
5:25 am
extremists. among the reply. busy to topics a plan for the mass, deportation of foreigners and even german citizens with a foreign background. the controversies have given lead to the f. d. been ostracized by others on the european side, right. they were recently kicked out of the european parliament grouping for fire right parties to the comments made by one of their leading candidates for that parliament, which appears to play down nazi war crimes is becoming ever more. i didn't realize with other 5 parties in europe each, i'm trying to become all mainstream kid that for to appeal triple low voltage. we asked the f t for an interview about their economic policies. and well, the party did offer us the chance to speak one of their, i mean peas, they wanted to approve any answers. we used for the interview. and we instead send a list of questions to the party press office, a spokesperson responded. we just don't feel comfortable talking to dw the party lists many of its key economic policies on its website. among their most prominent
5:26 am
positions would use via t and don't increase taxes. overall, the german tech system and leave the euro is on. critics say their economic policies would not benefit their voters for right parties of fast resistance from business elsewhere, but in the case of maloney initially on oregon and hungry. they have also found ways to work with business. and business has found ways to work with them. so there is an because relationship with business on the one hand business may well side with around the christ, when it comes to taxation on when it comes to welfare. if we look so hungry. what, what audubon did was to introduce a flat tax and the league wants to introduce a flop tax, they cancel physical reasons, maloney wants to lower taxes and low and also minimum income scheme. um, in the interest of business. yes, internationally oriented companies are always likely to have
5:27 am
a problem with fire right. movements as they have to are finding out they see long, easy about the rise of derive the quite in the sense that what these parties do and, and, and trump these, perhaps the key sampling disregard is to disrupt free trade by stimulating a turn towards economic protectionism. and economic nationalism, which is not any interestof export oriented companies. the rise of the far right in europe has raised the spectra of the 19 twenties and 19 thirties and economic crises such as one employment, hyperinflation have bringing foxes through. but there are 2 key differences between the economies of the 19 twenties and the 2020s, employment, and welfare. what legislation is still high, surprising the have, why the a labor problem you up. so an employment is very low and, and companies we do use searching for a thoughtful leap. so that's
5:28 am
a big difference here. and the ethics i'm but the difference to that is totally computing it. is that sort of social wells and structures in here? a very strong and there was a big pandemic support package that tried to make sure both the companies but ultimately depend on a citizen to try to make sure to prevent exactly this sort of sliding down into unemployment. sliding down into cannot be clients of and then to buy that conversation. however, if an economic crisis were to emerge, the threatened employment of the capacity of states to provide welfare far right parties are well place to capitalize. that's obviously a nice man that is haunting when you put additions up to date that they come requires. and so even in the comic downtime not speak, i think not because it's 29 could repeat itself, it could lead to devise. so i'm going to in parties to up for now far, right parties in europe and elsewhere,
5:29 am
a thriving on issues away from the economy. and when you look at that record, yes, many of the economic issues uh, most of the teams that they not really the mainstream thing. in many, many cases. it's the calculations which is where they have been bought to where they have issue ownership, where they really managed to stairwell impressions and still not the that they support which becomes all assume that it was these concepts. there's a famous phrase attributed to the american political strategist, james carville, the economy, stupid. which means that it's the economy which matters most of owners even, and that's not always readily apparent. on the rise of the far right suggest us. it's the culture of stupid, maybe a more appropriate political aphorism for our present age of discord in division. not that the economy will ever be too far away either. thanks for watching until the next time. take care the
5:30 am
sweden's peak region. thousands is the indigenous tommy people have been hurting reindeer on this land for very long time. this part of the land was for the so many people and they was leaving here. they was pushing they was hunting. so in one way these area belongs to the saw me.
