First polls suggest a clear rejection of the far-right initiative that demanded to cut fees for public broadcasting in half.

According to the most recent Global Gender Gap report published by the WEF, the Netherlands has dropped from 28th to 43rd place in the rankings. The low ranking is mostly due to only two of the index’s metrics – economic and political representation.

COMPAS@compasoxford.bsky.social · 7mo agoAcross Europe, social democratic parties are increasingly adopting restrictive immigration rhetoric in response to the electoral success of radical right parties. Join Dr Stuart J. Turnbull-Dugarte this Thursday, 22 January, to learn more about this trend. The seminar is free and open to all. ⬇️
'Remigration' is on its way to become a #farright master frame, but what does it actually mean? In Germany (somewhat unsurprisingly), that's 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 a legal-constitutional question, with implications for the #AfD. Excellent reporting by Correctiv - in German, but worth a click on 'translate'

X is the megaphone of 21st century fascism and authoritariansim. It has poisoned public debate. It is a tool for bullying, abuse, and assault. X needs to disappear from our discourse. When people and institutions post there, it gives X credibility. It keeps it relevant. It's time to stop.

+2,8 Grad Celsius – auf diese Erwärmung steuert die Weltgemeinschaft aktuell zu. Das unterstreicht der heute vorgestellte Emissions Gap Report der Vereinten Nationen. Im Vergleich zu Prognosen vor dem Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen ist das weniger schlimm, aber immer noch scheiße.
Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

🗳️ First exit polls from the Netherlands: Wilders’ PVV appears to shrink from 37 to 25 seats. Make no mistake — the far right remains strong. Support hasn’t disappeared; it’s shifted across parties. The Dutch political landscape is more fragmented than ever — and the far right is no exception. 🇳🇱

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets. nos.nl/artikel/2583...

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization. This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

On this note, here is a thread with recent research on what normalization is and how it happens. It includes links to references, from my work and that of others. I tried to tag the authors whenever they are on here, in case you are interested in following their work. 1/8
C🅰️S Ⓜ️UDDE@casmudde.bsky.social · 2y agoNo country is immune to the far right. No country is immune to the normalization of the far right.
Dass die meisten Statements des AfD Parteitags auf programmatische und diskursive Annäherung von CDU/CSU an AfD verweisen, zeigt einmal mehr wie solches Mainstreaming extrem rechten Parteien nützt und aufgegriffen wird, um es als leeres Versprechen zu bezeichnen und die eigene Position zu stärken.
Die AfD hat sich was Neues überlegt, um Pressearbeit so weit wie möglich zu erschweren. Zwischen den Delegierten und dem Pressebereich sind nicht mehr nur Banderolen, sondern drei Meter Sperrzone und der Gästeblock. #pressefreiheit #rie1101 #Riesa
