IMMIGRATION AGENDA OF RIGHT RADICAL PARTY IN THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES

Abstract

In party programs, politics acquires a design-constructive character. The purpose of the article is to analyze the electoral success of right-wing radical parties in the Scandinavian countries, their positions on the problems of the formation of immigration policy, and the hierarchy of problems in public opinion. An important electoral resource for parties is the provision of public support and legitimization to anti-immigration organizations, guaranteed in the conditions of the migration crisis. The main requirements of right-wing radicals in the field of immigration are its radical reduction, the opposition of Islamization and the cultural assimilation of immigrants. Problems of immigration, threats of loss of national identity (in the form of appeal to confession and ethnicity), security deliberately dominate in the programs of right-wing radical parties and in the speeches of their leaders, radicalizing the national political agenda.
