Summary/Abstract: Right-wing extremism has been a growing global phenomenon for years, which still lacks a strong intellectual and political response. Changes on the political scene, in some of the leading democratic countries and the arrival of conservative populists in power, encouraged the right-wing in their fanaticism. The latest research by experts hired by the United Nations Security Council shows that the number of terrorist attacks committed by right-wing extremist groups has increased by 320 percent in the last five years. Experts point to ultra-right or racially and ethnically motivated terrorism as a unique form of political violence where the boundaries between hate crimes and organized theorism are often difficult to define. The report states that it is not easy to define that movement, and that it is rather a complex and overlapping milieu of individuals, groups or movements (online and offline) that stand for different but related ideologies, usually linked by hatred and racism towards minorities, then xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-Semitism.
