Antwerp Declaration - June 2022

The European continent stands without any doubt at an historic crossroads. Through the ‘Antwerp Declaration’, the European political party Identity and Democracy (ID Party) wants to underline the added value and superiority of the concept of national sovereignty. The cooperation of European member states within the European Union, since Brexit, has been characterised mainly and paradoxically by a far-reaching acceleration of centralisation and by the installation of a unitary state to replace the member states. The EU seizes every crisis to stealthily reinforce and speed up this evolution. This was the case with the coronavirus crisis, and it appears to be the case with the war in Ukraine as well.

Member Parties

The Movement of Freedom and Direct Democracy – Tomio Okamura (SPD)

Svoboda a přímá demokracie – Tomio Okamura (SPD) - is parliamentary party established in May 2015. Just after registration in June 2015 SPD attracted 9000 membership applications in the first three months, making the movement one of the largest political organisations in the Czech Republic.

The Rassemblement National (RN)

The Rassemblement National, which took over from the Front National in 2018, has established itself over the years as the leading party in France. Due to the two-round majority voting system, where traditional parties usually join forces to block it, its representation in the National Assembly remains below its real electoral strength, especially among the working classes.

The Rassemblement National fights for more national sovereignty, a limitation of immigration, a strengthening of national security and a particular attention to the republican pact.

Vlaams Belang

Vlaams Belang has been established in the Flemish political landscape for several decades (since 2004 under this name), where it fights for an evolution towards the independence of Flanders, a fight against massive immigration that has changed the face of cities and villages and a desire to see a zero tolerance policy applied.

The Vlaams Belang thus triumphed in the last legislative elections of 2019, under the impulse of its young president Tom Van Grieken, and became the second largest party in Belgium.

LEGA

Founded on 4 December 1989 following the merger of several regional autonomist movements in northern Italy, the Lega's main political objective was to make Italy a federal state.

In this respect, it was able to adopt a constitutional reform in 2006, approved by the Parliament, which was unfortunately rejected in the subsequent referendum in all regions except Lombardy and Veneto.

The party is now present throughout Italy and regularly participates in government.

Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ)

The FPÖ is one of the oldest and strongest parties in Austria. It is represented in the national assembly, with 38 seats, and in all nine federal parliaments – some of them, in the regional government. Since 2005, the head of the party has been the Viennese-born Heinz Christian Strache, who took over the party ten years ago and led it to become the strongest party in Austria, currently with nearly 30 % in all polls. As of mid 2019, a new president has been assigned named Norbert Hofer.

For Britain

For Britain is a positive, pro-British, pro-democracy party, which believes in preserving the culture and values of the decent British majority, and passing these on to future generations. We believe in the democratic mandate of the people, and therefore demand the UK’s complete withdrawal from the European Union without further delay. We believe in truth, justice, and freedom. We seek to create a Britain where the rule of law is upheld, and justice prevails over political convenience. We will restore freedom of speech as the backbone of the democratic system. We sit neither on the Left nor the Right; we are the decent, fair, common sense majority whose voice has been ignored for too long.
