How do Franco-Canadian lefties see the European far right?

La Presse is a reasonably progressive online newspaper based in Montreal. Vincent Brousseau-Pouliot, one of their staff writers, contacted various political scientists to talk (chiefly) about the far right in Europe. By and large, I found his questions more interesting than our answers. At any rate, good, clean fun. https://www.lapresse.ca/contexte/l-a-b-c-de-l-extreme-droite/2025-02-16/qu-est-ce-que-l-extreme-droite.php

I talked to Deborah Cole about the AfD & Germany’s east

Ten days or so ahead of the state elections in Saxony and Thuringia, I had a chat with Berlin-based British Deutschlandversteher Deborah Cole. Some quotes made it into this excellent explainer piece in the Guardian. Looks like Germany failed the test. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/29/germany-state-elections-populists-afd-bsw
