Populism, a complex concept, has evolved over time, with modern populism focusing on the people versus the elite, bad manners, and crisis. Cas Mudde defines populism as the idea that society is divided into two groups: “the pure people” and “the corrupt elite.” Successful populists today are often on the right, with radical right politicians like Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, and Donald Trump combining populism with anti-immigrant nativism and authoritarianism. The report explores the increasing connections between populism and the spread of racist sentiments, highlighting how these two phenomena often go hand in hand. The report examines the history of regions in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, South-Western Europe, Western Europe, central European countries, and Northern Europe, focusing on the rise of populist and racist tendencies.
