📢 ECPS Interview 📌 Prof. Wind: Mainstream Parties in Denmark Have Absorbed, Not Neutralized, the Radical Right ✍️ Interview by Selcuk Gultasli ⚡️As Denmark approaches the March 24, 2026 general election, Professor Marlene Wind (@MwiWind) offers a sharp, research-driven diagnosis of a deeper transformation within European democracies. 🇩🇰🗳️ 📍In this timely ECPS interview, Professor Wind challenges the conventional narrative of far-right containment, arguing instead that mainstream actors have internalized key elements of radical-right agendas. “The argument that we have managed to eradicate the extreme right is simply not accurate,” she warns—highlighting how restrictive policies have migrated into the political center. 🔎 Her analysis situates Denmark at the intersection of: 🌐 Geopolitical rupture (Greenland crisis, Ukraine war, transatlantic tensions) 🏛️ Institutional recalibration within the EU ⚠️ The normalization of illiberal political logics 🌎Despite rising geopolitical stakes, Professor Wind notes that these dynamics remain a “background condition,” while domestic concerns—💰 cost of living, 🏥 welfare, 🚧 migration—continue to dominate the campaign. 📉 Crucially, support for right-wing politics remains stable at 17–20%, suggesting not decline—but diffusion. 💬 A must-read for understanding how liberal democracies adapt, absorb, and risk reproducing the very forces they seek to resist. 📕 Read the interview: 🔗 populismstudies.org/prof-win… #DenmarkElection #Populism #FarRight #Democracy #EU #Geopolitics #ECPS
