European Nationalism promotes the creation of a European nation, reducing existing european nations to provinces or replacing them by smaller regional units. Originating as a phenomenon or the extreme right such as Francis Parker Yockey and Jean-François Thiriart, it has more recently been taken up by political activists on the left such as Antonio Negri and €uroMayDay as Thiriart hoped.

History of European Nationalism

The first Young Europe,was founded by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1834. The Pan-Europe of Coudenhove-Kalergi existed between 1920 and 1940 and propsed a form of Pan-Europeanism which opposed Nazi 'aryanism in favour of a united European race.

At the end of the Second World War, certain fascists organised two pro-european organisations. There was SS-Hauptamt which envisaged a united Europe without Russia and broken up into large regions. The fascists of the Italisn Social Republic proposed the creation of a European Community in their Verona Programme of 1944.

After the war, the Swede Per Engdahl crated le European Social Movement (with the same name as a small French collaborationist party, founded in 1942 by Pierre Costantini) alongside Maurice Bardèche.

Shortly afterwards Francis Parker Yockey created the European Liberation Front which only had a brief existence. Much the same fate awaited the European Popular Movement crated at the end of the 1950's by Otto Strasser

In 1960, parallel to the foundation of Jeune Europe par Jean Thiriart, the latter, with Otto Strasser and Oswald Mosley, briefly created the National European Party. Mosley promoted European Nationalism in his book Europe a Nation, and through his British Union Movement. Jeune Europe disappeared in 1969. It was succeeded by several pan-europan movements of less importance such as Comité de liaison des européens révolutionnaires and the European Liberation Front (the second organisation to bare this name).

European Nationalist Parties

In France, european nationalism is princiaplly represented by the Réseau Radical which has a Eurasian outlook and is explicitly anti-semitic and anti-american. It is led by Christian Bouchet.

In Belgium the principal european nationalist organisation is the group Synergies européennes led by the college lecturer Robert Steuckers. It is consider part of the New Right.
