AfD forms new right-wing EU parliamentary group with smaller parties

 

Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has formed a new EU parliamentary group with a range of smaller parties, with the new group known as the “Europe of Sovereign Nations.” It will feature 25 MEPs in total, with the AfD making up more than 50 percent of the new EU grouping.

 

With the AfD boasting 14 of the party’s members, it will be the dominant party within the grouping, but due to the wide range of countries joining the group, often only featuring one MEP, the new grouping meets the criteria for forming a new EU parliamentary bloc, which is 23 MEPs from at least seven countries.

 

“We have joined forces because we are united in the goal of exerting a decisive influence on Europe’s political future through decisive action and a planned approach,” the new group’s co-president, René Aust (AfD), said after the founding meeting.
