Abstract :
[fr] As the far-right gains ground in Europe and beyond, one demographic in particular has caught the attention of these movements: young people. Aware of their influence, certain political parties—such as in Belgium—are developing targeted strategies to attract a generation searching for meaning and identity.
Specialist in extremist, populist, and conspiratorial discourse, political scientist François Debras offers a clear-eyed analysis of these dynamics. Holding a PhD in political and social sciences from the University of Liège, he also teaches at Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris and has published extensively on radical contemporary rhetoric.
