Abstract

The article describes and compares the two extremely na-tionalist groups which is: the French National Front, led by Marine Le Pen and the Dutch Freedom Party, founded by Geert Wilders. The pub-lication presented the key demands of the program and forms of action of this organizations. Subsequentliy comparative analysis of these two parties was conducted, which shows that the French formation evolves into softened public discourse, while the Dutch constantly radicalized their message. In the last part of the publication, it will be also outlined the political future of these groups, placed in the broader context of the functioning of the extreme nationalist organizations
