Summary/Abstract: Political radicalisation has been a growing threat in Europe in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought with it social isolation measures and economic problems, mixed with people's frustrations, dissatisfaction and lack of trust in traditional parties and state institutions, has created fertile ground for nationalist-populist discourses. By using social media, leaders of radical parties have taken advantage of this context, thus gaining popularity by promoting a demagogic and savior discourse. This article analyzes and describes, political radicalization, exemplifying the magnitude of the phenomenon at the European level through 2 case studies.
