Giuseppe Martinico agrees with Alberto Alemanno's analysis about the far right's influence in the EU. However, he believes framing it solely as a far-right issue misses a more concerning development. Martinico argues that what is happening is a broader cultural shift within the European political mainstream. Migration serves as a primary example of this shift. He highlights the convergence between governments like Denmark and Italy as evidence. Positions once considered radical right have now permeated beyond that spectrum. Elements of both the center-left and center-right have moved away from a rights-based approach to migration. Fundamentally, migrants are increasingly absent from European political discourse as individuals. Their status as rights bearers, whose dignity should limit political majorities, is disappearing.
