The Rise of the Far Right: What is at stake for the West

28 Jun 2025

17:00 - 18:00

City Hall

Across the West, far right movements are gaining ground — not just at the margins, but in the mainstream. From fiery rhetoric to policy influence, they’re reshaping the way we talk about identity, belonging, and power. What’s fuelling this rise, and why now?  

Join us for a timely and urgent discussion as our experts explore the deeper forces at play — from economic anxiety and online radicalisation to political polarisation and cultural backlash.  

In this discussion we consider what this could mean for the future of democracy, free speech and how can we respond before the tide turns further.
