Summary/Abstract: The study is part of a larger investigation on extreme right policies in Europe, achieved within the framework of the European Laboratory of Social Psychology, with the aim of understanding why it is we are witnessing the revival of the extreme right in some European countries. The investigation is defined by two analytical axes: the motivations of the adherence and the political route of the members of the party; and the social representations and practices of the supporters and the common knowledge concerning the right policy. A sample of subjects (supporters and militants of the right wing) have participated in an interview, and the data was processed through a categorial-frequencial "hand-made" analysis of the content which permitted to realize an "a posteriori" system of categories, on which the presentation and discussion are based.
