The German alternate for Germany (AfD) yet gave up its main goal of re-entering the Identity and Democracy (ID) group and began to make its own parliamentary block with another uninvolved right-wing formations.
Despite all efforts to distance myself from the scandalous erstwhile Euro MP Maximiliana Kraha, whose remarks on members of the SS during planet War II were the main reason why Marine Le Pen ID suspended organization membership, AfD seems to have no choice but to make its own political household in the European Parliament along with smaller delegations, which will undoubtedly make them even more right than ECR and ID.
Negotiations with possible fresh partners are underway, as confirmed by the high-ranking AfD authoritative in his conversation with The European Conservative, but they are inactive far from the final composition.
At least 23 MEPs from 7 different countries would be needed to make a fresh block in the European Parliament. AfD already has 15 tickets, which means she would request six delegations to get 8 more tickets. This is not impossible, but it is besides not an easy task to find so many pages that want to cooperate.
It's not that there's no motivation. Staying without a group means much little representation, resources and money for the next 5 years. The group will surely be covered by the "sanitary cordon" as shortly as it is formed, so they request all the aid they can get.
According to reports, fresh AfD allies can be Bulgarian Revival (V) – the 1 who first presented this thought to the Germans a fewer weeks ago – Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF, “The organization is over‘) from Spain, SOS RomaniaSlovak Hnutie Republic (The movement of the Republic), NICH from Greece, Mi Hazánk Mozgalom) from Hungary and Poland Confederacy.
These parties already have 18 mandates, which, combined with 15 AfD mandates, would mean that the fresh group would well exceed the required threshold. The second place would include a Polish delegation with 6 mandates, followed by a Spanish and Bulgarian delegation with 3 MEPs.
How hard negotiations between so many parties can be, is evidenced by the fact that AfD has met with “trade pressure” from any Bavarian companies who are in good relations with the Hungarian government to exclude Our Homeland (MH), the opposition organization against the ruling Fidesz.
This problem seems to have been resolved after it became clear that the MP for "Our Homeland" (history and university professor) is not officially a associate of the party, but simply a candidate for the EP election.
At a time erstwhile the AfD had not yet participated in the negotiations, the working name of the group was Vera Europe, which in Latin means "True Europe". Now the AfD origin has told us that there is no agreement on the name of the group, and there are respective ideas circulating around. But first you gotta establish the composition and then you can discuss another formalities.
While any in AfD inactive hope there is simply a tiny chance of returning to ID after the French elections that will end on 7 July, Germany is incapable to wait long adequate not to hazard losing possible fresh allies.
