Exiting the European Union: Central European Hard Eurosceptics Compared

The polycrisis, Brexit, the Covid crisis, and the war in Ukraine, brought a valuable argumentative potential for hard Eurosceptic parties in the region of East Central Europe. Especially the idea of Brexit made a profound impact on the local hard Eurosceptic parties, yet with diverse intensity and diverse narrative connotations. The aim of the paper is to find out how the radical right Eurosceptic parties in the East Central European area used the narrative of “exit.” The comparative paper will build on the cases coming from four central European countries from 2010 to 2022.
