Populisme is een begrip dat sinds 2016 volop werd gebruikt om de dreiging aan verschillende politieke fronten te duiden, maar het is een verrassend breed gebruikt begrip. De meeste definities verwijzen naar het onderzoek van Cas Mudde, die populisten duidts als: “Parties that endorse the set of ideas that society is ultimately separated into two homogeneous and antagonistic groups, “the pure people” versus “the corrupt elite”, and which argue that politics should be an expression of the volonté générale, or general will, of the people.” Mudde, 2004. Benjamin Moffitt, hoogleraar en schrijver van het boek Populism, noemt nadrukkelijk dat populisme geen ideologie is, maar een stijl van politiek bdrijven, “a way of speaking, acting, and presenting oneself.” Hierdoor zijn er veel verschillende groepen die onder deze noemer vallen, die op verschillende manieren worden beschuldigd van populisme. Populisme is niet hetzelfde als extreem-rechts of extreem-links gedachtegoed, maar die beide groepen gebruiken wel regelmatig populistische methodes. Populisme is niet hetzelfde als populariteit, hoewel er groepen zijn die populisme op die manier proberen te zuiveren van de negatieve bijklank. Populisme is ook niet hetzelfde als fascisme, hoewel populistische rhetoriek wel een kenmerk is van fascisme. De klassieke term die veel overlap vertoont met populisme is “demagogie”, waarbij een demagoog of “volksmenner” of “rabble-rouser” specifiek inspeelt op de driften en wensen van het volk door ze tegen de elite op te jagen. Dit valt samen met de definitie van populisme gebruikt door Catherine Fieschi, die stelt dat populisten niet alleen zeggen te spreken namen de moreel superieure stem van het volk, maar ook uniek in staat zijn om die stem te horen. Daarmee worden hun tegenstanders dus weggezet als vijanden van de waarheid en puurheid van het volk. Het nieuwere woord populisme komt uit de Verenigde Staten, waar in 1892 een partij genaamd de People's Party of ook de Populist Party in opstand kwam tegen de elite. Zij zagen zichzelf als gerechtvaardigd in het democratisch opstaan tegen de elite die hen onderdrukte. Sindsdien blijft de tweedeling tussen het volk en de elite een kenmerk van populistische retoriek, of er nou sprake is van een tweedeling tussen volk en elite, of niet. Vandaag onderzoeken wij de kenmerken van populisme in de hoop de term minder beladen en met meer precisie te kunnen gebruiken. Is populisme ooit “goed” of terecht? Is populisme een inherent onderdeel van bestuur door het volk? Is populisme altijd bron van polarisatie? Te gast is Sjoerd, net als in aflevering 4.

Between June 6th and 9th, 27 member states held elections for the European Union's parliament with over 300 million eligible voters. However only 51% voted, an unsurprising figure as democratic participation declines across the West. Equally unsurprising were the results of the vote, which, as always, resulted in the two major centrist blocs, the European People's Party and the Socialists and Democrats, maintaining their majority, with some support from the Green and Liberal groups.However, far-right and nationalist parties performed very well, with the two major groupings gaining seats and nearly 20% of all MEPs. This outcome was predicted in the pre-election polls and hasn't shocked many pundits, but thereality of an increased normalisation of nationalist politics in the European Parliament may be sobering for some.For 20 years now, nationalist and far/extreme right parties have slowly but surely gained electoral and political legitimacy. In recent years, such parties have won elections in the Netherlands, Italy, and Slovakia, and they sit in government in Finland, Sweden, and a few other countries as well. In all member states, nationalist parties sit in parliament, and their rhetoric has entered mainstream political discourses.In France, this outcome has had especially profound repercussions, as President Macron has now called for snap elections in response to the major losses experienced by his Renaissance party to Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella's National Rally party.How did Europe, and indeed many other countries in the democratic world, come to this? Are mainstream politicians getting it wrong, or are they just of poor quality? Is there a better way forward? To answer these and many other such questions, Ilana Bet-El is joined by Catherine Fieschi, an expert on populism and European politics, in a lively and deeply probing conversation.This episode was recorded on June 13 2024.NotesCatherine's inspiration: “Homage to Catalonia” George OrwellCatherine's book “Populocracy"Global social media users (April 2024): 5.07 billion, equating to 62.6% of global population.

Hard right parties are sweeping Europe and analysts fear they will do well in this week's elections across the EU. How deeply are radical right parties, with their immigration and culture war fixations and indulgence of Putin, distorting politics from Spain to Germany and Poland and beyond? What does their success mean for the EU's stability and the defence of Ukraine? And can the populist wave be stopped? Gavin Esler talks to political analyst Catherine Fieschi – author of Populocracy: The Tyranny of Authenticity and the Rise of Populism –  and German public broadcaster ARD's London Bureau Chief Annette Dittert about the defining threat of our age: extremist populism.

Les élections européennes ont lieu du 6 au 9 juin. Les partis de droite nationaliste et radicale ont le vent en poupe dans plusieurs pays d'Europe, et ils pourraient rafler jusqu'à un quart des 720 sièges selon certains experts. Une étude récente anticipe la victoire des droites populistes et nationalistes dans au moins 9 des 27 Etats de l'Union européenne.En France le RN est crédité de plus de 30%, soit 7 points de plus qu'en 2019, en Italie, Fratelli d'Italia, le parti de la Présidente du Conseil italien Giorgia Meloni caracole en tête.Même si la droite classique devrait rester majoritaire, ces partis pourraient avoir un impact important sur la prochaine législature européenne, notamment concernant leurs principaux chevaux de bataille: l'immigration, les réglementations environnementales ou encore la défense de valeurs familiales traditionnelles. Cet épisode est réalisé grâce à Paul Aubriat, journaliste qui suit le RN en France, à et Gildas Le Roux en Italie, à Catherine Fieschi, spécialiste des droites radicales et nationalistes au sein de la Fondation Robert Schuman, ainsi qu'à Anne-Laure Mondesert du bureau de l'AFP à Bruxelles.Réalisation : Emmanuelle BaillonSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Geert Wilders has been described as the Dutch Donald Trump. Earlier this month his far-right Freedom Party pulled off a surprise election victory in the Netherlands. Following Mr Wilder's win, we're looking at what's driving right-wing populism in Europe. Italy has a right-wing populist prime minister. In Hungary there's Viktor Orban - prime minister since 2010 - with his particular brand of nationalist populism, and in Finland the far-right Finns party is now part of the governing coalition. Are some of the factors that secured Geert Wilders' win also what is helping other right-wing populists in Europe? In a European context, does right-wing populism differ from far-rights politics ? Why are parts of Europe drifting right? What are the factors behind this? What's driving right-wing populism in Europe and what does it mean for the continent?Shaun Ley is joined by:Catherine Fieschi, a comparative political analyst specialising in populism, far right and authoritarian politics and a Fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre at the European University Institute in Florence. Stanley Pignal, The Economist's Brussels bureau chief and writes their Charlemagne column on Europe.

In this episode, the Beyond the Byline podcast looks into the results of the Dutch elections, which saw the party of anti-Islam populist, Geert Wilders, lead the polls.The success of Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) signalled a notable rightwards shift in a country that's seen over a decade of centrist governance.Geert Wilders is now positioned to lead talks for the next governing coalition, potentially becoming the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands, with the PVV securing 37 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament — more than double his previous tally of 17 in the last election.This outcome is sending shockwaves through Europe, where far-right ideologies are gaining momentum.We asked Catherine Fieschi, a comparative political analyst with a focus on populism, authoritarianism and challenges to democracy and representation and a fellow at the Robert Schuman Centre, about the proliferation of far-right governments in the EU - and why Europeans are increasingly turning rightwards in the polls.

President Biden today marked one year since the death of Mahsa Amini, who died after being manhandled by Iran's “morality police” for not wearing her hijab properly. Many protesters hoped for the downfall of the regime in the wake of her death, but the ayatollahs have survived, and the regime is rounding up activists and journalists, hoping to pre-empt any new demonstrations. Mahnaz Afkhami was minister of women's affairs in Iran's government before the 1979 Islamic revolution, and she joins the show to explain why she believes that, despite the regime's brutal crackdown, change is underway inside Iran.  Also on today's show: correspondent Jomana Karadsheh reports from Libya; Norwegian Refugee Council's Jan Egeland; Catherine Fieschi, Director, Open Society Foundations Europe and Central Asia To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Recorded 12 May 2022 Catherine Fieschi, is the founder of Counterpoint, a think tank, and the author of “Populocracy.” Her focus is populism and European politics. She wrote her PhD thesis on Jean-Marie Le Pen and spent time with the family in their chateau. Consequently, she knows more than most about France's pretender to the presidential throne. Macron won this time, but it is not the end of the hard right or left for that matter in France or elsewhere. We take a longer-term view of French politics and populism in Europe

‘Populism has taught us that politics is not just about being technocrats and that politicians cannot just govern through Excel spreadsheets.' In this episode, Manas Chawla interviews Dr Catherine Fieschi about her encounters with Jean-Marie and Marine Le Pen and the factors that have led to the latter's mainstreaming. She also discusses with Manas the decomposition of the French party system since Emmanuel Macron came to office in 2016, as well as the lessons that populism can teach us about the role of the state and the meaning of politics. Dr Fieschi's extensive research into populism makes for a very insightful conversation about the populist wave and the ways in which it alters traditional perceptions of politics. Dr Fieschi is the founder and executive director of Counterpoint Global, a research and advisory group that helps businesses, governments, and NGOs navigate a new age of social and political risk. She is also a senior advisor at Macro Advisory Partners and a former director of the think tank Demos. Her published work includes Populocracy: The Tyranny of Authenticity and the Rise of Populism and Fascism, Populism and the French Fifth Republic: In the Shadow of Democracy.

In this episode recorded from our online Dash Café in May, we return to the iconic 2009 Estonian documentary Disco and Atomic War and the topic of borders, propaganda and censorship.Audiences enjoyed excerpts from the film and conversation from speakers including Estonian TV journalist and Disco and Atomic War co-producer and co-screenwriter Kiur Aarma; Soviet-born British journalist and author Peter Pomerantsev; former ambassador of Finland to Estonia Kirsti Narinen; and political analyst and Counterpoint director Catherine Fieschi.Playful and provocative documentary Disco and Atomic War (Winner of Best Documentary at Warsaw International Film Festival) by Jaak Kilmi recounts the Soviet Union's repressive grip of Estonia in the 80s. Much of Soviet power derived from its ability to censor cultural life. Rock and roll was but a rumour and the only television shows on the air were dreary propaganda – until one day, a few miles across the border in Finland, a huge television antenna was built broadcasting Western signals into the heart of Tallinn, the Estonian capital.With thanks to the Embassy of Estonia in London and the Finnish Institute in the UK and Ireland for their support of the live event featured in this episode.
