This weekend, a major right-wing conference is hosting several members of Parliament from far right European governments, including the AfD and the ruling party of Poland. I wrote about what it means, and why it matters: mic.com/articles/19133…
If you haven't been closely watching the rise of right wing populism in Europe, it's time to start paying attention. Anti-Muslim and anti-immigration parties are gaining major footholds in parliamentary elections. Last week was Sweden's turn. cnn.com/2018/09/10/eur…
The American far right movement is VERY keyed in to Europe's burgeoning nationalism. Breitbart runs nearly day-to-day coverage of Swedish crime rates. Tucker Carlson runs segments about the plight of British and Austrian right-wing celebrities.
This past week, both Bernie Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis wrote op-eds warning of a new "Nationalist International" and the need for a global progressive movement that can push back the rise of nativism and fascism in Europe.

Steve Bannon, unable to be effective in the U.S., has a new Europe-focused initiative called "the Movement" to put nationalists into European Parliament. This year, he's met with the prime minister of Republika Srpska, and the head of the far-right parties of France and Italy.
