Ally of Major Jewish Group Joins Far-right European Bloc
The Jewish lobby group for the EU has yet to distance itself from the Danish party which recently aligned itself with far-right parties including those of Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini and the AfD.
A key institute run by the American Jewish Committee, one of the largest Jewish advocacy organizations in the world, continues to maintain ties with the leader of a Danish party that recently joined a new European-wide far-right alliance.
Austria‘s Kurz wants renegotiation of EU‘s Lisbon treaty
He said that „much had changed“ since the 2007 Lisbon Treaty, pointing to the eurozone and migration crises and Brexit.
A treaty renegotiation would require unanimous consent from all EU member states. In the same interview, Kurz expressed scepticism over any cooperation between the centre-right European People‘s Party (EPP) — to which the OeVP belongs — and parties further to the right in the European Parliament.
The FR are notoriously unreliable. Farage is close to Le Pen in ideology and I think she could persuade him in forming an alliance at EU parliament level and forget Brexit. I don’t want to give Le Pen allies.
Bad news for Brexiteers: Germany‘s AfD and France‘s Le Pen back away from calls for EU exit. This might be a trick to get more MEPs but if its not, it means no other countries will follow Brexit. Mr @Nigel_Farage what say you? @LBC

Le Pen drops ‘Frexit’ in favour of an ‘EU of the far-right’
Marine Le Pen has asserted that neither she nor her party want France‘s withdrawal from the eurozone.
Speaking at a gathering of her supporters on Saturday ahead of the European elections, the National Rally (RN) leader said that her platform would now “look to change the EU from within”.
Britain is heading for a long extension after no member state argued to veto a Brexit delay, sources say.
A small number of EU member states argued for an extension to June 30, but most argued for much longer: to December 2019, or even March 2020
European far-right parties unite into new alliance ahead of EU elections
The group includes Mr Salvini’s League, as well as France‘s far-right National Rally (formerly National Front), Austria‘s Freedom Party and the Netherland‘s Party for Freedom. Those parties have long sat together in the European Parliament.
But Mr Salvini was also joined on Monday by the far-right Alternative for Germany‘s co-leader Joerg Meuthen, Olli Kotro of the Eurosceptic populist Finns party, and Anders Vistisen of the right-wing, populist Danish People‘s Party.
