Two gatherings in two European cities with opposing political perspectives.
In Barcelona, left-leaning world leaders discussed the threat the growing far right poses to democratic institutions.
Their aim? To bring together progressive forces under a single banner to counter right-wing authoritarianism.
While in Milan, far-right figures rallied against what they called
the tragedy" that has become Europe.
They are calling for fewer regulations from Brussels - but tighter controls on security.
How will this polarisation play out globally?
