Europe: "Far-Right" Parties Join Forces

I'll first link-and-quote the story, then offer my commentary: Far Right Parties in Europe Join Forces

Nationalist parties from seven European countries convened in Vienna last weekend to join forces. The "patriotic and nationalist parties and movements" signed a so-called "Vienna Declaration" calling for a stop to immigration in the entire European Union and the defence of Europe against "terrorism, aggressive islamism, superpower imperialism and economic aggression by low-wage countries." The parties also reject the European Constitution and demand that "geographically, culturally, religiously and ethnically non-European territories in Asia and Africa" will be excluded from joining the European Union.

The participants were invited by the Austrian Freedom Party (FPO) and included Jean-Marie Le Pen's Front National from France, Alessandra Mussolini's Azione Sociale from Italy, the Spanish Alternativa Española, the anti-Hungarian Great Romania Party, the openly anti-Semite Bulgarian party Ataka, and Belgium's largest party, the Vlaams Belang. The Italian Lega Nord, the Danish People's Party and Poland's governing Law and Justice were not present but are said to have sent their greetings.

This is an extraordinary story. Pan-national political organizations belong to the left: the Communist International, the Social Democrat International, etc. Right-wing parties don't usually see beyond their national borders. (There is a reason they are called nationalist Parties.) That these Parties have stopped their bickering long enough to issue a declaration signals the growing commitment of their members. Look for the "far-right" to play a prominent role in European politics in the comming years.
