Impressive rhetorical calisthenics would be required not to describe the "Remigration Summit" as fascist or neo-fascist,
or at least highly fash-curious.

(And only a few of its participants would be mad if you did.)

At least officially, Europe’s major far-right parties kept their distance from the whole affair:

Marine Le Pen’s National Rally in France avoids the term entirely,
and Germany’s AfD took a P.R. battering after an earlier remigration event in 2023.

So it was mostly a bunch of Euro-prep dweebs from way more marginal parties,
including Austrian remigration guru
#Martin #Sellner, possessor of another Nazi-themed haircut;

#Afonso #Gonçalves from Portugal’s Reconquista,
a name that specifically recalls the expulsion of Muslims from the Iberian peninsula in the 15th century;

and #Andrea #Ballarati, who left Italy’s main far-right party to found an identitarian group called Azione Cultura Tradizione
(which I don’t think requires translation).

Nobody at a convention of right-wing crazies in 2026 has any direct connection to the fascist regimes of the 20th century, of course.

But the ideological and philosophical lineage of these people is not difficult to trace.

Take Sellner, the Austrian godfather of the remigration movement:

He’s a protégé of German “nationalist intellectual” #Götz #Kubitschek,
who has cited
#Carl #Schmitt,
leading political theorist of the Nazi era,
as a key influence.

The contemporary #Falangist movement in Spain explicitly borrows its name and iconography from Francisco Franco’s dictatorship.

The anti-immigrant movement in Britain can be followed backward, step by step,
through the British National Party to the National Front skinheads of the ‘70s,
all the way to Oswald Mosley’s overtly pro-Nazi movement of the 1930s.

Earlier international gatherings of far-right nationalists,
such as the Montreux Fascist Conference of 1934,
focused on a familiar enemy that had supposedly
“installed themselves as if on foreign territory, openly or occultly exercising an influence harmful to the material and moral interests of the nation which shelters them.”

They were talking about the Jews, of course,
while today’s right-wing crusaders direct nearly identical language at Muslim immigrants.

But anyone who believes that the contemporary remigration agenda isn’t profoundly shaped by antisemitic conspiracy theory has surrendered to a moral blindness nearly as bad as fascism itself.
