How can the mobilizing power of the "right-wing populist" parties represented in the European Parliament be explained and how can they be effectively countered? This study aims to contribute to this by analyzing the ideological-programmatic aspects of these parties. The most popular among them provide "modernization services" that distinguish them from the old extreme right. They propagate anti-anti-Semitism, reject biological racism and orientate themselves on the model of a coexistence of separated ethno-cultural communities.
