EP launches procedure to annul registration of 'Europe of Sovereign Nations' party

The European Parliament (EP) has decided to start a procedure aimed at annulling the registration of the European-level political party 'Europe of Sovereign Nations'. This party brings together several right-wing eurosceptic and far-right parties from various European Union (EU) member states, including Germany's 'Alternative for Germany' (AfD).

The decision to launch the procedure was made due to potential violations concerning the party's activities and compliance with EU rules. The exact reason why the EP wants to cancel the registration has not been disclosed yet, but such a step is rare and indicates serious concerns about the party's adherence to fundamental democratic principles.

'Europe of Sovereign Nations' is a relatively new party, created to unite eurosceptic and nationalist forces in the European Parliament. Its members actively oppose EU integration and have often expressed anti-immigration and nationalist views. AfD, the largest party in this alliance, is known in Germany for its skepticism towards the EU and the euro.

The procedure is still in its early stages and will go through several phases, including legal evaluation and a vote in the EP. If the registration is annulled, the party may lose the right to receive EU funding and participate in elections as a European-level party. This would be a significant blow to the eurosceptic movement in Europe.
