this isn't seen to national welcome back europe is slowly getting back on its feet after the economic crisis but the financial don for two thousand and eight has launched a trend that could be difficult to revise the far right is rapidly gaining ground across the european union with the u.k. greece and fronts among those witnessing the spread of nationalism. of an album. from the d.l. in britain in the north to golden dawn in greece in the south far right groups are making their voices heard in europe. this financial crisis affected everyone and it has allowed the right wing organizations to give people someone to blame for their problems it's those people's fault that is how they were cruet greece has seen a marked increase in support of the far right in neo nazi groups golden dawn and organization the right did by their critics as hooligans and third heralded by
8:15 am
their supporters as the savior for greece for the greeks and they systematic and the not only but each and cultivate. but they attack systematical immigrants present golden dawn have made it further than most they have elected officials on their books including current greek m.p. elias custody at us it's not only in politics that extreme right views of permeating this goal celebration by the earth and the order to stop the artists so the midfielder banned for life from the national team despite his claims that he didn't know what the salute meant but the clearest indicator of the popularity of the far right will be when europeans go to the polls in may to vote in the e.u. parliamentary elections one of those parties on the rise and france's muddying

second now it's only. it seems as long as europe's finances continue to languish in the red more and more its people are seeking answers. the right teacher all of a germany. is an accident social trends he believes the right wing parties are gaining support because they propose alternatives and it doesn't matter how well they all tend to. be the financial crisis is really the key least in my these parties have gained support in recent years that the crisis had led to distrust of politicians is it has led to distrust of immigration or immigrants i think what they're offering is not a very concrete alternative in terms of policy in terms of economic policy support for these parties is really based on you know and dislike of the established political regime whatever that is and so people are looking for some alternative
8:18 am
and these parties come in and provide that but i don't think it's clear to people what they actually represent or what the consequences of their policy would be. on this hour max kinds that puts his finger on some of the reasons europe is still dealing with the financial fallout and he is a quick preview. we now know that people who are in charge of economics know absolutely nothing about money for example none of their economic models include money they just are modeling based on certain assumptions that don't include debt so in the u.k. economy as close to a thousand percent debt to g.d.p. inclusive a bank that national debt household debt corporate debt that's a thousand percent what you iceland before blew up but i was born tells us this is a good this is a recovery this is good news and this to paper the times of london carries a story saying he's the britain of the year he's the clown of the year he should be
