The Rise of the Far Right in Greece: More Than a Crisis Response?

This talk examines the evolution of the far right in Greece, tracing its path from the political margins to a more prominent role in recent years. While often interpreted as a reaction to one-off events such as economic crises, the persistence and diversification of far-right parties point to deeper political and cultural dynamics that shape voting behaviour over time. By analysing electoral trends, policy positions, and campaign messages across multiple far-right parties, the talk asks whether the rise of the far right in Greece should be understood as more than a temporary response to crisis.
