The advance of the right on a global level has caused alarm. Various regions of the world have seen the establishment of these types of regimes, that are underpinned by hostile agendas for human rights, migration, minorities or the environment.

The worry isn’t unjustified however, it is impossible not to see the factors that have led to this type of political expression. The support from broad sectors of the population of these regimes shows dissatisfaction with the inefficient leadership of the governments from centre or left.

Corruption, cronyism, influence peddling, unemployment and economic precariousness are elements that have rushed the turn to the right.
