Resistir (Spanish)

Resistir is a timely and incisive political essay by French journalist Salomé Saqué, published in Spanish by Plataforma Editorial in 2025. This compact but powerful book provides a clear, well-documented analysis of the rise of the far right in France and across Europe, exploring how it has gained influence not only at the ballot box but also through cultural, social, and media narratives.

Saqué’s writing cuts through complex political discourse with an agile, direct style, making complex ideas accessible to a broad audience. She examines the strategies used by far-right movements to normalize exclusionary rhetoric, curtail rights, and erode democratic values — not by force of arms, but through discursive and cultural shifts that have made radical ideas increasingly acceptable. Resistir argues that understanding these mechanisms is essential to defending democratic freedoms and social cohesion in the 21st century.

The book has garnered significant attention in Europe as an urgent voice for readers concerned with current political trends, civic responsibility, and democratic resilience. Its relatively brief format — approximately 176 pages — makes it an accessible starting point for anyone interested in political analysis without academic jargon, from students and activists to general readers curious about contemporary social dynamics.
