In the recent episode of the Vikerraadio show 'Harri Tiido taustajutud,' the host analyzes the contemporary emergence of new right-wing movements in Europe, marking them as some of the most prominent political forces on the continent as noted by The Economist. Tiido highlights how right-wing radical groups are garnering increasing support amidst a global backlash against liberalism. He draws attention to the fact that these movements have formed what is arguably the largest political family in Europe today.

The discussion further delves into the misconceptions surrounding these right-wing factions. Contrary to the view that they are merely nostalgic for a bygone era, British political scientist Mark Leonard argues that these groups actually represent a modern, even postmodern form of politics. Tiido utilizes Leonard's insights to clarify that the right-wing's appeal doesn't stem from a desire to revert to the past, but rather, they propose a fresh approach to governance that resonates among the disenchanted electorate.

The significance of this movement is underscored by its timing; with the Trump administration reshaping political consensus in the Western world over the last 80 years, the rise of the new right is more than just a regional phenomenon but is indicative of broader shifts in global political dynamics. Tiido's discussion not only captures the essence of the current political climate but also suggests that this new right may have ways of influencing future policies that reflect the evolving nature of governance and public sentiment in Europe and beyond.
