In the FILEF information evening series on advocacy and human rights, the event on Thursday 26th September 2019 at the Leichhardt Library was focused on the rise of the far right and of new nationalisms in Europe.
These developments are posing a serious threat to the social and civil rights gained after decades of political struggles. Xenophobia, homophobia and fear of diversity in general are spreading more and more among Europeans and are now a fully-fledged part of right-wing propaganda, aim of which is to scapegoat migrants, refugees and other minorities.
Speaker:
Daniele Fulvi, PhD student in Philosophy and a Teaching assistant at Western Sydney University. He also writes for Green Left Weekly and for the Italian online journal The Vision.
