Concern in Europe about the rise of right wing extremism

BRUSSELS (Portal) – EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson issued a stark warning on Tuesday about the growing threat of right-wing extremism in the region. At the opening of the Counterterrorism Financing Forum in the Belgian capital, Johansson emphasized the need for international cooperation in the fight against terrorist financing. Right-wing extremist terrorism is a growing threat in Europe, he told the BRF.be portal. He explained that the activities of right-wing violent extremists are now more open, including organizing rock concerts and marketing commercial products to finance their goals. According to Johansson, one of the biggest challenges in combating this growing threat is the blurred line between right-wing extremism and terrorism, as PL emphasized.
