Anti-immigration nationalists in the European Parliament Updated 11/25

A list of parties

On May 23, Marine Le Pen, the leader of National Rally, said she was kicking the Alternative for Germany [AfD] out of Identity and Democracy [ID]. This began speculation that ID planned on dissolving anyway.

On June 30th, the leaders of the largest political parties in Hungary, Austria, and Czech Republic announced the creation of a new group called Patriots for Europe [PfE]. This unofficially marked the end of Identity & Democracy [ID]. Since the Austrian Freedom Party was leaving ID and it would be extremely hard for them to maintain the minimum number of countries needed for a group.

On July 3rd, the European Conservatives and Reformers [ECR] filing paperwork listing their official members as 84 members of parliament from 19 countries.

On July 5th, Spain’s VOX left the ECR and re-affiliated with PfE. The Netherland’s Party for Freedom also left ID and joined PfE.

On July 8th, the ID dissolved with most remaining members joining the PfE.

On July 10th, Germany’s AfD launched a new group called Europe of Sovereign Nations [ESN]. It has 25 members of parliament from eight countries.

This is a list of the parties that will generally be the most reliable in opposing open borders and third-world immigration in Europe. National Conservative does not endorse any parties or candidates.

There are now three nationalist groupings in the European Parliament, the PfE, the ECR, and the ESN. Then, there are nationalistic parties that are currently unaffiliated with any group for a wide variety of reasons. SMER, and Hlas are Slovakian Social Democrats who have been expelled by Progressive Alliance of Socialists & Democrats [S&D]. 

The ECR was originally created as a vanity group for the British Tory Party. They did not like playing second fiddle to the German Christian Democrats in the center-right European People’s Party [EPP]. However, to meet the minimum requirements to form their own group, the Tories had to recruit parties that were much more conservative than they were. The Tories ended up being charged huge fines for misusing EU group funding to send Tory politicians to vacation resorts in Florida. After Britain left the European Union, the Polish Law & Justice party became the leader of the ECR. Now, the Polish Law and Justice party and the Italian Brothers of Italy jointly lead the group.

There is still talk of a future merger between the ECR and the PfE. Currently. Georgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, hopes to use the ECR as leverage against EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the EPP. The EPP will be the largest group by far, giving them considerable control over the agenda and filling the EU bureaucracies. However, they will not be able to get their legislation passed without another large ally.

Hungary’s Fidesz had previously hoped to act as a bridge between the ID, the ECR, and some of their remaining old allies in the EPP. Fidesz is also a big ally of Slovakia’s SMER, which, like Fidesz, was expelled from their original grouping.

There are 705 seats total in the EU parliament.
