Abstract

Two decades aft er the political transformations in East-CentralEurope, a new type of anti-minority, far-right partieshas evolved. While these nationalist formations have gained decisive political power in some places, in others they have stayed on the margin.Th e diff erence in their popularity is noticeable not only at international level, but even within the borders of each country, at the administrative level as well. Our research has been based on the results of parliamentary elections between 2000 and 2012 and it examines the social support of fi ve radical right-wing parties (ATAKA, Jobbik, L’S NS, PRM, SNS) of four post-communist countries in East-Central Europe with signifi cant Romani population (Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia). According to our initial hypothesis, the proportion of Gypsy population and certain major national minorities, and the area’s economic development should determine the success of political parties with discriminatory and anti-minority ideology. Th e datahave shown that this connection exists only in case of national minorities. On the basis of ethnic minorities’ proportion and regional popularity, three types of radical right-wing parties can be diff erentiated. As the fi rst group, parties with distinctive anti-Roma rhetoric (Jobbik, L’SNS) were promoted by the growing number of Gypsies in the region joint with deterioration of economic situation. In case of the second group (consisting the PRM and SNS) the process proved to happen the opposite way. Th e third group is formed by the ATAKA alone. It did not clearlyfi t in either of the previous categories, since in its case, a connection between the party’s popularity and the ethnic homogeneity of the region was perceptible.
