After the European Parliament elections, the Freedom Party wants to join the European faction of far-right parties that French politician Marine Le Pen wants to establish. “If we get seats, we would like to be joined,” PVV leader Sebastian Stoteler said on Friday evening during an election debate on the TV show Op1.
The new European family of French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen should consist, among other things, of the conservative National Movement led by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the parties that currently form part of the European Conservatives and Reformists. and the Identity and Democracy Party, to which the Freedom Party belonged when it still held seats in the European Parliament.
According to Stotler, the new European Community “should be able to achieve strong economic cooperation, not actually political integration.” Unlike many other far-right parties in Europe, the Freedom Party promised in the main lines of an agreement reached in mid-May to continue supporting Ukraine “politically, militarily, financially and morally” against Russian aggression. Stoteler said that he from the European Parliament “will not upset the Dutch government in any way.”
