Central Europe has been a frontrunner in the rise of populism in Europe. With more people increasingly supporting populist, illiberal leaders, why is populism so strong in this area? And how does Central European populism differ from that in other regions?
This TEPSA Animated Explainer, created in collaboration with the ActEU project, explores the historical factors which led to the emergence of populist forces in the region. The video is based on the findings of the ActEU “Report studying Central European populism and new cleavages”, written by Katarzyna Kochlöffel, Petr KratochvĂl, Jan Kovář, Pelin Musil, ZdenÄ›k Sychra.
