“…The second noteworthy feature of RWPPs is a combined move away from the free market economy with an increased emphasis on the welfare state (Figure 22), whereas their average historical position was not more generous (MARPOR 2021). This move has been discussed widely in recent literature on the role of social welfare in RWPPs more recent platforms (Afonso and Papadopoulos 2015;Afonso and Rennwald 2017;Röth et al 2018;Jessoula et al 2021). In lieu of welfare state retrenchment, low taxes and free market liberalism that had been argued to explain their success in the 1980s (the neoliberal economic 'winning formula' -see Kitschelt and McGann 1995), they instead combine welfare chauvinism as part of a wider economic nationalist narrative of a social contract between state and citizens .…”

“…Hate speech that targets immigrants tends to be the preserve of far-right political parties and groupings that adopt an exclusionary populist discourse (Jessoula et al, 2021). Hence, we analyse discourse within user comments on the pages dedicated to the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and VOX.…”

Hate speech has been seen as a problem within democratic societies that has been exacerbated by social media. While platforms claim to moderate content, this proves impossible. Studying popular platforms in the UK and Spain and examining content within community pages dedicated to right-wing parties, we use framing analysis to identify the predominant frames in user comments that contained hate speech against migrants. Our research demonstrates a frequent use of arguments that encourage xenophobic and discriminatory attitudes to flourish. Specifically, we find that immigrants are commonly framed as potential criminals, people who steal resources and erode norms of the dominant culture and traditions. The fact that these frames are commonly used is worrying and indicates xenophobic attitudes exist within both societies under study. However, it is difficult to imagine regulatory systems that would prevent these attitudes from being expressed. Rather, we argue that it is more important to focus on correcting the conditions that cause such attitudes to take hold within a society.

“…The emergency packages also introduced new income support benefits for workers not otherwise covered: workers in continuous and coordinated collaboration agreement (the most common form of bogus self-employment in Italy), the self-employed, seasonal workers, and workers in the entertainment industry, who could apply for a quasi-universal lump-sum benefit of €600 in March and for an additional €1,000 means-tested bonus (based on estimated profit lost) in May. Although they included many groups of non-standard workers, these ad hoc provisions were not particularly generous and maintained the typical fragmentation and complexity of the Italian system (Jessoula et al, 2021).…”
