PRESS ROOM

Five years after January 6, the forces behind the Capitol attack are no longer on the margins—they are shaping governance. Under Donald Trump, far-right extremism and political violence have been normalized through policies, executive power, and the implementation of Project 2025. As another election cycle begins, the movement that fueled the insurrection has embedded itself in institutions—weakening democracy, legitimizing violence, and putting targeted communities and the rule of law at risk.

An updated GPAHE country report identifies 13 active far-right and extremist groups operating in Ireland, many centered on anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+ ideology. The findings show how online disinformation is driving real-world violence, riots, and arson, while further embedding Irish actors within transnational far-right networks.

A new report reveals how neo-Nazi, white nationalist, and anti-immigrant groups—like Active Club Bogotá and Batallón Cóndor 88—are targeting Afro-Colombians, Indigenous peoples, migrants, and LGBTQ+ communities, while forging ties with extremists in the U.S., Spain, and Mexico.
