New racism is an influential term coined in 1981 by scholar Martin Barker, in the context of the ideologies supporting Margaret Thatcher rise in the UK, to refer to racist public discourse depicting immigrants as a threat.
Late 2000s resurgence
From 2008, in part following the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession, racism saw a significant increase all over Europe, with anti-immigrant xenophobic political movements gaining more and more support. In the European parliament, for the first time an international grouping of racist and neo-fascists parties was formed in January 2007. The alledgedly racist parties part of this trend are National Front (France), Party for Freedom (Netherlands), Lega Nord (Italy), the British National Party, Vlaams Belang (Belgium), Freedom Party of Austria and Alliance for the Future of Austria, the Sweden Democrats, and True Finns (Finland). The same trend has emerged in Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Romania and Slovakia.
