De Lange road to power? Professor Sarah de Lange on the rise of the populist radical right

As far-right parties gain ground across Europe, democratic norms are being tested like never before. Why are voters increasingly turning to populist radical right parties? Are our political systems still equipped to deal with the deepening divisions in society — or are we witnessing a permanent transformation of democracy itself?

Join us for an urgent and timely conversation with Professor Sarah de Lange, one of Europe’s leading experts on political pluralism, populism, and party systems. We’ll explore how shifting societal cleavages — between city and countryside, elite and people, knowledge and tradition — are reshaping politics across the continent. What are the consequences of the far right’s move from the margins to the mainstream? And what does this mean for the future of liberal democracy?

June 16th, 13:00 PM at the REC E-Hall. Don’t miss one of the final interviews of the year!
