Starting in 2010, populist and far-right political groups began to spread across Europe. Since then, populism has grown and taken on a variety of forms in European countries according to variations in countries' political climate, history, and culture. Populists are often known for their Eurosceptic views, anti-migrant sentiments, anti-Islamic rhetoric, and a general opposition to the “elite.”
