Back to EpisodesFuredi: Populist Right's Dilemma
Description
Frank Furedi, a seventy-eight-year-old sociologist and head of an Orbán-backed think tank in Brussels, is a key thinker for Europes rising populist right. He celebrates the crumbling political center but worries these movements lack the discipline to govern well if they win power. Furedi, once a left-wing agitator, now supports free speech, abortion rights, and Israel, while criticizing multiculturalism and pandemic fears. He sees successes like Orbán in Hungary and Meloni in Italy as examples of stable right-wing rule, but warns that winning elections means little without readiness to deliver.
