Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN or ESN Party; French: L'Europe des Nations Souveraines; German: Europa Souveräner Nationen) is a far-right European political party founded by national parties represented in the Europe of Sovereign Nations political group of the European Parliament.
History
In April 2024, nationalist parties from nine countries met at the invitation of the Bulgarian Revival Party. In the so-called Sofia Declaration, they called for the preservation of national borders and the sovereignty of the individual European states. Participants were the Greek AKKEL, Renastere (Moldova), Forum for Democracy (FvD, Netherlands), Republic Movement (Slovakia), Zavetnici (Serbia), Our Homeland Movement (MHM, Hungary), Alternative for Sweden and Mass-Voll! (Switzerland). From the participants of this meeting, Revival, Republic Movement and MHM entered the European Parliament for the first time in the 2024 European elections. Shortly before the election, the German Alternative for Germany (AfD) MEPs were expelled from the Identity and Democracy group due to extreme views and allegedly Russian influence. The AfD and Revival had previously been in contact. Together with representatives of other parties, their MEPs founded the Europe of Sovereign Nations Group.
The ESN Party was founded by the parties involved in the ESN Group, as well as the Dutch FvD which missed entering the European Parliament, on 14 August 2024.
On 6 September, the ESN Party applied for registration with the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations. The establishment of an affiliated European political foundation is planned, but was postponed, according to the ESN, because of complex administrative requirements. On 30 September, the ESN Party was registered by the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations as a European political party.
Members
The ESN party has nine member parties.
Revival, Alternative for Germany, and Freedom and Direct Democracy had been members the ID party, but left in 2024, with Revival departing in February and the two other parties departing in July. Forum for Democracy was previously a member of the ECR party from 2019 to 2020.
