This paper presents and discusses the findings relevant to the first research question of my PhD project (RQ1) What are the factors driving Anti-Immigration Vigilantism by the Far-Right in the Island of Lesvos?. These findings were produced by employing the method of qualitative content analysis to examine the propaganda found in the websites of two far-right organizations with an established presence in vigilante activities in Lesvos: The Free Citizens Municipal Party and the Golden Dawn.
