Populismo punitivo y extrema derecha en el espacio ibérico

Abstract

Chega echoes the anti‐Roma rhetoric of Eastern European parties such as the People's Party Our Slovakia , the United Romania Party , the Bulgarian Ataka , or the Hungarian Jobbik , by combining ‘punitive populism’ – exacerbated law and order concerns and support for more severe criminal justice policies (Lópes‐Rodríguez et al., 2021) – with welfare ethnocentrism (Ford, 2016; Cinpoeş & Norocel, 2020). 3…”
