The Rise of Far-Right Parties in Europe and Their Impact On Migration Policies

Öz

Migration has gained an increasingly prominent place on the European political agenda in recent years. This is directly related to the rise of far-right parties, which play an important role in shaping migration policies across Europe. Parties such as the National Union in France and the Alternative for Alternative (AfD) in Germany have achieved significant electoral success by utilising anti-immigrant rhetoric in the media. In addition to the Netherlands, Austria, and Italy, almost all major countries support this trend. This situation clearly shows the impact of anti-immigrant discourse and policies in European politics on society. The rise of the far right has led to tighter border controls in Europe and increased securitising policies against migrants. This process is fuelled by the economic and security concerns of European citizens. For instance, low wages and competition for jobs increase the concerns of local citizens. Moreover, security threats, such as terrorist attacks, reinforce the public's negative attitude towards migrants, which leads to the issue of migration becoming more prominent in the political arena. By constantly raising the issue of migration, far-right parties shape the policies of mainstream parties and play a decisive role in shifting them to the right. This ‘shift’, in most cases, results in the adoption of harsher and more restrictive policies towards migrants. This study aims to analyse in detail the influence of far-right parties in Europe on migration policies and the dynamic changes this influence has on the domestic policies of countries. The growth in the electoral base of far-right parties increases social polarisation and leads to a reshaping of existing policies. Therefore, these processes need to be analysed in depth to understand how the social fabric and political climate in Europe are changing.
