Reposted by Abi WatsonTarik Abou-Chadi @tabouchadi.bsky.social · 26/09/2025The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet. 132357628
