Hope Not Hate is a British organisation at the forefront of the fight against the far right. It investigates the working methods and funding of various movements by infiltrating them. Using hidden cameras and microphones, its activists film demonstrations, conferences and closed-door meetings. They reveal how members of these groups aim to radically change mainstream politics, how communities are targeted and how radical influencers popularise racial prejudices with a new audience.
Discussion Countering the normalisation of the far right
The storming of the US Capitol in 2021 and the riots of summer 2024 in Britain have highlighted the prominence of fascist groups worldwide—movements that are racist, antisemitic, and masculinist, threatening democracy and security in many countries. Armed with powerful communication tools, they infiltrate both online platforms and traditional media. They are now part of international networks—including some passing through Switzerland—and have forged connections with established political parties. In short, they exert considerable influence on public debate, if they are not actually in power. With mainstream political actors apparently unable to counter this trend, what are the best ways to act?
