Leeds: Guardian’s Gary Younge on rise of far right in Europe

The Guardian’s Gary Younge and UAF national officer Martin Smith will speak on the rise of the far-right across Europe, on Thursday 11 November.
The Leeds UAF public meeting will discuss how the nazi British National Party and the racist thugs of the English Defence League fit into a worrying picture of gains for the far-right across Europe and beyond.

Electoral gains

Last month, Austria’s far-right Freedom Party took more than a quarter of the votes in the Vienna city elections and has announced plans to expand into Germany, while earlier this year, the fascist Sweden Democrat party won 20 parliamentary seats – sparking big antifascist protests within hours of the result being announced.
