EXTREMISM

The third crisis is a political crisis and a crisis of values. This global crisis led to the rise of a series of extremist movements and parties but also to political instability throughout the European Union. Ideas and views that we believed to have disappeared long time ago, reemerged and threaten democracy and freedom. At the same time, terrorism have been exploited by the extremist forces to increase influence in many European countries. Below you can find a conceptual visualisation about the rise of extremism in EU  for the period 2004 - 2018. The visualisation includes also the number and type of terrorist attacks in the European Union for the period 2007 to 2017.
