- Abstract
- Speaking of the internationalism of nationalists may seem paradoxical. Nevertheless, it is from the beginning not only at the heart of the structure and the project of the European Free Alliance (EFA), but also of its world view, of its ideology. The history of the EFA is linked to the European Parliament. It is therefore the history of nationalist political parties learning to work together in an international arena and learning to use this international arena as a political tool to carry their objectives forward. It is also a history of international solidarity between nationalist and regionalist parties, of parties learning to think together and elaborating progressively a political project around a few core elements: the right to self-determination and self government; subsidiarity as an institutional principle; diversity, as a positive value in itself; non-violence; the trust in parliamentary democracy; solidarity, based notably on a refusal of isolationism. And those principles where to be applied to define common positions on international, peace and defence issues.
