What happens when the far-right marches next to your neighbourhood? This study investigates how proximity to far-right manifestations, such as protests and demonstrations, influences individuals’ positioning on the left-right ideological spectrum. While much research explores how events shape public opinion, the geographic proximity to such events and their effects on political identity remain underexplored. Focusing on far-right events in Germany, the study examines whether being near these manifestations prompts individuals to moderate their ideological stance to dissociate from the far-right. A key expectation is that proximity to far-right demonstrations affects conservatives differently, nudging them toward more moderate positions, while having less impact on left-wing individuals. To explore this, a novel methodological approach combines survey panel data with geospatial data on far-right events. The analysis incorporates proximity measures and event characteristics such as size, organisational prominence, and the presence of violence while controlling for contextual variables. Effects are assessed at the individual level, offering a precise estimation of how exposure to these events shapes political attitudes. This framework deepens understanding of the interaction between political geography and individual-level political identity, shedding light on how geographic exposure to far-right activity reshapes ideological positioning and contributes to broader public opinion dynamics.
