Marine Le Pen's loss signified a defeat for the rising far-right movements cropping up all over Europe. Such movements have appeared in Germany, Hungary, Poland, and more, with many concerns that neo-Naziism might become prevalent. Will these movements ever become powerful enough to take control in European governments, and if so is that good or bad?

mayer

I believe they could potentially get powerful enouph. Now, on the cas of is it good or bad is interesting. I would say bad, but for some countries. Also, as long as it doesn't turn into neo-nazi type. France is being taken over my Muslims and that needs to be stopped.

yosur

I disagree. I don't ebelueve that stuff like that should be occurring in any country. If Muslims want to live in France let them, as long as they don't show any threats.

We saw what happens when Nazi started gaining power in Germany in 1930s.  Now there are trends of Pro-Nazi in the German army..see debate

heavy immigration in Germany, France, and other parts of Europe may result in strong Nationalistic movements. That can be a fuel for extreme right wing reaction there.
So I think it is certainly possible.

randal

I agree with @agsr .

melanielust

 Agree somewhat with your point about Muslims @mayer

However I have to say @yosur also has a point; freedom of religion is necessary and important. Some right-wing leaders in the Netherlands for example have proposed full bans on mosques and the Quran; I think it would be more productive to simply create a filter or even a ban on all immigrants from Islamic countries, not necessarily on the religion

SaltyDog

groups like Generation Identity are growing fast and I think they'll gain large influence, but not enough to have control/

irke

They could gain enouph to gain control, and potentially terorlsit groups can.

agsr

@melanielust, I agree that ban on religion is really a dangerous path.

@SaltyDog, it concerns me as well when I hear about rise of such groups and I hope they don't pick up enough traction.

The religion in France could change to Muslim.

SaltyDog

asgr you missed my point. I agree with Identity Generation. I'm just stating that they won't be able to gain control
