Far-right parties continue to gain ground in Europe in the run-up to the European elections. They threaten the very foundations of democracy and the fundamental social democratic values of social justice and solidarity. In this workshop, participants learned more about the threat posed by right-wing populist forces in Europe and possible strategies to counter them.
