In Berlin journalist and expert on the far right Maik Baumgaertner warns: "In recent years links between the most radical groups have grown exponentially. The danger is real, as is shown by the racist and xenophobic programmes of the parties who legitimate the phenomenon." Not to mention the increasingly widespread racist slogans, the speeches of populist leaders and the growing number of messages on online forums identifying those responsible for "turbo-capitalism" as "the bankers" and recalling the age-old attacks on the "Jewish lobby".
And I'm also thinking about the intolerance towards immigrants and Roma. Social Democrat parties and the extreme right came out on top in the polls because people were looking for political solutions, but also for someone to blame. Apart from the most extreme cases such as Greece and France, I'm thinking of what has happened in Slovakia, Romania and the Netherlands. In the words of Kinga Goncz, member of the European Parliament and former Hungarian Foreign Minister: "The growth in the phenomenon is clearly linked to the crisis. It is a similar picture across Hungary, Russia, Serbia, Germany, Britain, Austria, France, Spain and Italy, groups nostalgic for the past, small bands of reactionaries, but above all a growing mass made up of young Europeans who support parties of hate and intolerance, are responsible for acts of aggression, beatings and killings, and come together through music and websites, often beyond ideology. It stretches from the north, in a Norway still shaken by the massacre of 22 July, 2011 (77 dead in Oslo and Utoya at the hands of one man, Anders Behring Breivik, 33 years old and currently on trial) to the south and a Greece taken aback by the electoral gains of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party (almost 7% of the vote and, for the first time, 21 seats in Parliament). A cocktail of politics, ideology and historical references combine among the new international fascists, the tens of thousands of far-right extremists Europe, the neo-Nazis, new and old fascists, "naziskins", boneheads, hammerskins, nationalist separatists and a variety of loose cannons. Because the targets of the new right are immigrants, mainly Arabs and Muslims, but also gypsies and Jews. The enemy? The banks and Europe, but above all "foreigners". And they hope to enter the European Parliament Music and the web help them stay under the radar.
They meet at political rallies and especially at concerts. They are setting up an international network. Dal reportage "Oltrenero" di Alessandro Cosmelli The enemy? " Foreigners", the root of all problems.
