ACCEPTABILITATEA DISCURSULUI POPULIST RADICAL DE DREAPTA ÎN MENTALUL PUBLIC. O ANALIZĂ DE CONȚINUT A PROGRAMELOR POLITICE POPULISTE LA ALEGERILE DIN FRANȚA ȘI GERMANIA, 2017
The Acceptability of the Radical Right-Wing Populist Discourse in the Public Mind. A Content Analysis of the Populist Political Programs in the 2017 French and German Elections

Summary/Abstract: Considering that populism, whether as an ideology or as a discourse, has at its core the dichotomy „us” versus „them”, which can take different forms, according to social contexts, this paper aims to identify and compare, using qualitative content analysis, the populist content of two political programmes debated in the elections this year: the presidential programme of Marine le Pen, from the French Front National and the Manifesto of the Alternative for Germany party in the federal German elections. This paper argues that populist outsider parties are contributing to the acceptability of intolerance in the European public space, through radical speeches built on a confrontational logic, which would have been minimalized and definitely rejected a few years ago.
