Right wing voters in Netherlands |
|
During the French presidential elections Euronews broadcasts a special program. One of the issues is the renewed popularity of the extreme right party Front National. A background reportage looks at the reasons behind the increase of populism in France and Europe. Why became Front National so popular again? What are the reasons why people vote for extreme right? Why do the voters reject the traditional parties? French Front National voters explain why. To put Front National in the European context Euronews make a cross profile of the PVV, the Freedom Party, from Geert Wilders. The PVV grew enormously over the last years and is now tolerating the conservative coalition. Correspondent Sophie Desjardin visits the north of Amsterdam, a district where a majority of the population voted for the PVV, to find out where the PVV is different from Front National and where they have similar ideas. In the run down idealistic garden village, many shops went bankrupt, the authorities seem to take no notice of the inhabitants and people live more and more on their own. An anti-authoritarian, anti-migrants and anti-Europe attitude is the result. Video link!
