Summary/Abstract: It is known that extremist right-wing movements, which are stated to have gained strength in Europe in recent years, have a deep-rooted history. In today's conditions, it is observed that the political congestion in the European Union institutions and the daily politics of the member states adds continuity to the discourses of anti-foreigner and extremist right-wing movements. Although it is seen that the extremist right-wing movements in EU countries have different characteristics from each other, it is understood that they act with a common discourse united in anti-immigrant and xenophobia. The RTV (Right-Wing Terrorism and Violence) data set, which contains statistics of extremist right-wing violence and terrorist acts in European countries since 1990, will be analyzed based on the need to examine whether the extremist attitude observed at the discourse level turns into violent acts. With this analysis on RTV data, it will be possible to understand the transformation of right-wing extremist violence over time, the general perception that right-wing violence has increased, and the differences between right-wing extremist groups that continue their activities in selected EU countries. In the study, evaluations will be made on the actions of the Golden Dawn Party in Greece and the Reich Citizens' Movement in Germany, where the most extremist right-wing acts of violence have occurred in recent years, and the main reasons behind these actions, which are directly associated with mass migration movements, will be discussed.
