Shortly before the formation of Eurodroite, Tixier-Vignancour was supposed to be a candidate of Jean-Marie Le Pen's National Front.[1] Another meeting of the Eurodroite was held on 27 June in Paris, with about two thousand participants, according to the Le Monde diplomatique newspaper.[1][4] Left-wing organisations held a counter-protest to the meeting in Paris.[4] Le Pen was critical of the Eurodroite project because of the participation of PFN.[1]
In the 1979 European Parliament election, MSI was the only party from the Eurodroite that crossed the threshold, obtaining four seats. It was thus unable to form a group in the European Parliament.[5]
The Eurodroite was a far-right alliance composed of neo-fascist parties.[7] It opposed the rise of Eurocommunism.[8]
Members
The following parties were members of the Eurodroite alliance.[1][3] The FN and EPEN did not contest the 1979 election, as Spain and Greece were not yet member states of the European Union.[1][9]
