Episode #19: Normalizing the Far Right [3/3] - Update

with Paula Diehl and Birgit Sauer

15.10.2025 30 min

In the last few years, the rise of right-wing populist and right-wing extremist parties, politicians, movements, and groups has become a common phenomenon, contributing to the spread of far-right discourse and attitudes. And it’s getting worse, as we currently see in Germany, Austria, the U.S. etc.
A research group at ZiF has worked on this topic for two years under the title “Normalizing the Far Right”. In this episode, Paula Diehl and Birgit Sauer, the convenors of the research group, talk about the different developments, the danger of normalization of right-wing positions, and about the effects on democracy.
