Populism and Democracy
Original language description
The article deals with a current phenomenon that grows up in (not only) European politics and society today. The subject of my investigation, rise of the nationalist populism, is analysed in relation to the increase of the social poverty and (reconstructed) media picture of the migrant crisis. In the following text, the both causes (poverty and media) of the populism are linked with the neoliberal political ideology that is hegemonic nowadays. The analysis is primarily focused on examples from the Czech Republic but this does not mean we cannot find similar features of the phenomena in other countries (for example Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, etc.) where these political conditions exist as well. By the support of the Minimal state and expanse of the media images in the society, neoliberalism extends the fear of incoming migrants that are – by the society – considered to be a threat. On this base, the article is going to refer the changes in the public opinion on one of the major democratic mechanism, agency of the civil society that has been a part of the real liberal political system. Without evaluating whether to accept or reject the migrants, the study describes negative symptoms of the construed fear that could lead to the so-called post-fascism. By this term, I label the simple political solutions of the complex problems.
