This week's podcast looks at the rise of far-right, anti-migration politics in Europe. From Paris Lara Marlowe reports on the success of Marine Le Pen's anti-migrant, anti-Islam National Front party in regional elections, the normalisation of far-right politics in France and the crumbling alliance of traditional parties to keep Le Pen from power. From Stockholm Derek Scally reports on Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-Nazi roots who are appealing to voters concerned with the influx of migrants, and the far-right Danish People's Party.
