POPULISTICKÁ KONSTRUKCE NÁRODA OHROŽENÉHO MIGRACÍ: CAQDAS VOLEBNÍHO DISKURZU ČESKÝCH PARLAMENTNÍCH VOLEB V ROCE 2017

This study can be seen as a contribution to contemporary debate about political populism in Europe and focuses on CAQDAS related interpretation of election programmes of political parties that have succeeded in parliamentary elections held in October 2017 in Czech Republic. In the light of moral panic related to so called “immigration crisis” almost all participating parties were influenced by this topic. Our analysis tries to provide interpretation of election discourse with focus on the issues of nation, migration and their discursive relation created via election programme of analysed political parties. It is possible to say, that we used the topics of migration and nation (more specifically portrait of migration as a threat to nation) as a symbolic line to distinguish between populist and non-populist political parties. As we argue, the most significant representative of populist political style is Freedom and Direct Democracy Party led by Tomio Okamura.
