The expanded CFP dataset provides data on all protest events by the far right in 10 European countries.Compared to the original actor-centered approach of FARPE, CFP rests exclusively on newspaper coverage data.The data is retrieved using an expanded list of far-right actors, including political parties, social movement organizations, and movement parties.The coding covers the period 2008-2021.
