This chapter discusses the transformations in Hungary's politics of memory since the 2010 return to power of Fidesz, which has become a right-wing populist party. It talks about how Fidesz hailed its electoral victory that enabled Hungary to finally achieve transition and leave the socialist past behind. Yet critics of Fidesz argue that beneath the government's anticommunist rhetoric lie authoritarian policies that have turned back the clock on many of Hungary's postsocialist democratic transformations. The chapter also examines Fidesz's recent attempts to redefine Hungary's political and memorial landscape. It explains how both Fidesz and its opponents ironically revived the threat of socialist remains in order to warn the present of impending danger.

This article provides a comparative conclusion to the thematic issue on the organisational characteristics of 12 right-wing populist parties (RWPPs) across Europe. We observe that many RWPPs—at least partially—adopt features of the mass party model. This finding illustrates the ideological aspects behind organisational choices: For populist parties, in particular, it is important to signal societal rootedness and “closeness to the people.” It furthermore challenges the idea that there is a one-way teleological movement towards more lean, electoral-professional kinds of party organisation. At the same time, the case studies clearly illustrate that RWPP leaders and executives continue to exercise great power over their members, who are essentially offered “participation without power.”

Portugal has been systematically described as an exception to the wave of (right-wing) populism growth in Europe. This article aims to re-examine this claim considering the context of the Portuguese 2019 legislative elections. Drawing on content analysis of party manifestos, we seek to identify, measure, and characterize the presence of populist dimensions in parties’ proposals. Moreover, the article explores the interactions between populist dimensions and other party policies. Our findings suggest that parties’ electoral platforms are highly impervious to the salience of populism, even when considering a radical right-wing populist party that won a seat in Parliament. A positive correlation between the salience of populism and the degree of ideological radicalism has been identified.

A New Singer-Songwriter: The Songs and Activity of Tomáš Hnídek in Czech Extreme Right-Wing DiscourseThis article aims to present the songs and activity of Tomáš Hnídek and their reception among extreme right-wing sympathisers in the Czech Republic over the last decade. The study analyses the use of selected elements of collective imagery related to the singer-songwriter convention, with particular reference to the figure of Karel Kryl. It also draws attention to persuasive techniques of creating an image and to their influence on the reception of the singer-songwriter genre in the context of hate speech and struggle over a new politics of memory in the Czech Republic, pursued by extreme right-wing politicians and their followers. Nowy bard. Twórczość i działania Tomáša Hnídka w dyskursie czeskiej skrajnej prawicyZadaniem artykułu jest przybliżenie twórczości i działań Tomáša Hnídka oraz ich recepcji wśród zwolenników skrajnej prawicy w minionej dekadzie w Czechach. W artykule podjęto analizę zjawiska eksploatacji wybranych wyobrażeń zbiorowych łączonych z nurtem bardowskim ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem odwołań do postaci Karela Kryla. Zwrócono szczególną uwagę na występujące zabiegi z obszaru kreacji i autokreacji o niezwykle perswazyjnym potencjale oraz ich wpływ na kształtowanie się dalszej recepcji twórczości bardowskiej w kontekście mowy nienawiści oraz walki o nową politykę pamięci w Czechach, podejmowanej przez polityków skrajnej prawicy i ich sympatyków.

Populist Party

AbstractAre right-wing populist parties fundamentally different from other types? This article explores one aspect of what we call the exceptionalist thesis. The thesis could be applied to a wide range of party characteristics, but here we focus on leadership. In this context, our case study is of the Sweden Democrats (SD). First, we examine how SD selects its leader. Second, we assess how leadership works in practice in SD, especially regarding party management. We also review how this leadership style has gone down with voters. We mix our own interpretation of these data with other scholars’ assessments. Generally, we find little evidence, at least in this exploratory inquiry, to support the exceptionalist thesis.
