In this monitor report right-wing extremism, attention is paid to the development of the extreme right-wing field in the Netherlands in 2020. This is done in a longitudinal context, whereby we always place the research period within the framework of a longer development. We first pay attention to the definition and demarcation of the term extreme right. We then provide insight into the manifestations and manifestations of the extreme right. Finally, we will discuss various forms of (government)response to the phenomenon.
Open sources have been used for the compilation of this overview, to a large extent primary sources: Publications, websites and other digital media channels of extreme right-wing organizations and their supporters, conversations with (voormalige) right-wing extremists and observations of public activities (demonstraties) of these organizations. The collected data was further analyzed and framed using existing literature on right-wing extremism in the Netherlands and compared and interpreted with insights from other observers of the extreme right field..
In spring 2021 the active support of the organized extreme right is consistently small and fragmented, the number of actions carried out modest and the threat of violence minimal. Recently, however, there has been a change in the dynamics surrounding the extreme right, the new
poses threats. In addition, in recent years there has been a reduction in
seeing the social and political resistance to the extreme right, extreme right
opinions and organizations.
The year 2020 will forever be marred by the global pandemic which spread around the world, locking us in our homes, hiding our faces behind masks and tragically taking hundreds of thousands of lives. As we enter 2021 the death toll continues to rise though the arrival of numerous vaccines has provided a much needed glimmer of hope. However, while a thin shard of light has begun to lift the seemingly unending darkness of last year, the ramifications of the pandemic will continue to be felt for years to come; not least the impending economic crisis set to grip the world economy. Yet, it has by no means been all bad news. In the face of such tragedy we have seen communities come together, neighbours and strangers helping one another and examples of heart-breaking sacrifice, love and hope.
P 99:
Activist far rights group are small, badly organised and infighting. Main typology of action is to try and attract (media) attention by organising provocative actions (tearing pages out the Quran, grilling pig meat in front of a mosque, occupying roof tops of mosques or refugee centers) with small numbers of activists.
Next to activist groups we see online appearance, internationalisation and radicalisation of larger groups of (mainly young, sometimes very young) extreme right activist.
Last, there is the Political party Forum for Democracy (FVD, Democratic Forum) with two members in Parliament. FVD, and more specific party leader Thierry Baudet and his trustees, associate themselves on frequent occasions with right extremist ideology and right extremist people.
Thanks to a combination of increasing polarization, new internet possibilities and an ideological renewal of extreme right-wing groups in particular, in recent years there has been a revival of the phenomena of the extreme right and (in the shadow) extreme left observable in Western Europe. In the Netherlands has the refugee crisis (2013-2016) played a big role in this revival. In addition, the Zwarte Pieten discussion, which has been fed very fiercely for a few years now, seized, by both extreme- right than left, to speak of a culture war. The municipalities of Schiedam, Rotterdam, Vlaardingen and Maassluis want an answer to the question in response to these developments: “What are the dangers that arise from political extremist ideas within the region at the moment, and how can the municipalities respond effectively to this?Through qualitative research in the region, combined with the internet- and a literature search conducted in the period April-September 2019 has been performed, this report tries to answer this question.
