On 28 August 2020, Irene Martin, Marta Parades and Piotr Zagorski (University Autonoma de Madrid RePAST Team) participated in the ECPR General Conference, in a panel which gathered scholars who share interest in populist parties. The authors presented a paper entitled “Populist Attitudes and the Memory of the Past: a Comparative Analysis”. The paper studies the connection between populism and the past by analysing original comparative survey data, gathered in early 2020 as part of the H2020 RePast Project. The authors particularly analyze how the past influences the vote of the radical right- populist parties (AfD, PiS and Kukiz’15 and Vox) in Germany, Poland and Spain.
