The leader of France’s far-right National Rally (RN) party, Marine Le Pen, has invited Italian Prime Minister and Brothers of Italy leader Giorgia Meloni to form a “supergroup” in the European Parliament.
If successful, it would merge the Identity and Democracy (ID) group – which includes Le Pen’s party and Portugal’s Chega – with the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group, of which Meloni’s party is a member.
Voters in the European Union’s member states go to the polls to elect their representatives in the European Parliament on 9 June, and recent weeks have been marked by controversy after the far-right German party Alternative for Germany (AfD) was kicked out of the ID group.
“It is time to unite, it would be very useful,” Le Pen told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, adding: “I think we agree on the essential issues. […] If we succeed, we could become the second group in the European Parliament. I don’t think we should miss an opportunity like this.”
The RN was among the first parties to express unease over comments made by the AfD’s lead candidate in the elections, Maximilian Krah, who said that not all members of the Nazi organisation Schutzstaffel (SS) “were criminals”.
The ID group also includes Geert Wilders’ Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) and Austria’s Freedom Party (FPÖ), while the ECR includes Meloni’s party, Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS) and Spain’s Vox.
Le Pen’s proposal would see a major realignment in the European Parliament, with the ID group seen as being further to the right ideologically than the ECR.
