Nation Europa is a pan-European far-right network founded on August 24, 2024 in Lviv, Ukraine. [1]

History

In 2024, on the Independence Day of Ukraine, the network held a summit in Lviv, with a number of European far-right and neo-nazi groups in attendance. The main guest speaker was the Italian far-right ideologue and essayist Gabriele Adinolfi. [2] A number of Ukrainian combat formations, including paramilitary groups associated with the Main Directorate of Intelligence were also present. [3]

Ideology

Nation Europa presents itself as a third-positionist network. [4] [5] [6] It frames both the liberal international rules-based world order, as well as Eurasianism and multipolarity as enemies, accusing them of promoting heterogenous "melting-pot" societies. [7] Nation Europa claims that Ukraine is the only viable place for the growth of "rightist ideology", evoking ultranationalist figures such as Yevhen Konovalets, Andriy Melnyk and Stepan Bandera. [8] The network goes further by encouraging adherents to pursue armed involvement rather than poltical participation, arguing that military structures - specifically the Armed Forces of Ukraine, offers a more suitable vehicle for far-right influence than political parties in democratic societies, stating that "right representatives" form the backbone of Ukraine's armed forces. [9]

The network dismisses mainstream right-wing parties as weak and culturally irrelevant, as they are deemed insufficiently radical. Rather than political engagement, Nation Europa advocates along-term strategy of covertly embedding itself withing influential social, cultural and institutional spaces. This approach is compared to the Islamic principle of taqiyya [ citation needed ].
