The difference is that here in mainland western Europe those parties/groups generally consider themselves being far right (though none would admit they'd be extreme right even if it would be a nazi party, as extreme right is an absolute no-go and political suicide) or at least right wing (mainstream right here is center-right, not (just) right (wing)). So if an attack is reported to be from far right extremists, you can be damn sure it is, especially since normally they wait before they know for sure who actually did the attack before identifying them.

So how do they consider themselves far right but not admit it??? I'm quite curious.

Funny that over here on the newspaper that is reported from the local Europe newspaper almost all official parties that aren't left oriented are called far right, and any person not abiding to the PC/SJW terminology called an extremist, xenophobic, racist, mysoginist, etc.

Read again: They'll fully admit being far right, but extreme right is the term they don't want to be associated with (that more than just implies Nazism and fascism around here) If you ever played Hearts of Iron, you could consider them calling themselves paternalistic autocrats, but not wanting to be called fascists.

May I ask what newspaper(s) you're referring to? Because I read lots of newspapers (mostly luxembourgish, german and/or french/french belgian ones) and in those unless proven any of these they wouldn't call those groups any of those terms.
