Euronat
EuroNat was an organisation of European ultranationalist political parties, formed initially at the congress of the French National Front (FN) in Strasbourg on 30 March 1997.[1] It had a loose organisational structure, and was in practice based on coordination by activities of the FN.[1] The organisation failed to attract much support in Western Europe, as FN leader Jean-Marie Le Pen was more successful in gathering support in Eastern Europe.[1] NordNat was an attempt to form a regional organisation by Nordic parties.[1] As of the late 2000s, only the FN, BNP, ND, MS-FT, DN and NR parties were listed as members of EuroNat.
In a joint declaration, the founders of Euronat expressed, among other things, the view that a "reborn" Europe "should be built with the European nations based on civilizations rooted in Greek, Celtic, Germanic, Latin and Christian traditions."[2] The declaration was signed by representatives of, among others, Forza Nuova , the Greater Romanian Party and Democracia Nacional , as well as the previously mentioned Sweden Democrats and Front National .[3] Parties that at one point were part of the organisation include:[4]
- Vlaams Blok (VB)
- Coalition for Republic - Republican Party of Czechoslovakia (SPR-RSČ)
- Republicans of Miroslav Sládek (RMS)
- Croatian Party of Rights (HSP)
- Patriotic National Alliance (IKL)
