Nation Europa is a pan-European far-rightneo-Nazi network founded on 20 April 2024.[1] The groups first conference of "right representatives" took place on on August 24, 2024 in the city of Lviv, Ukraine.[2]
In 2024, on the Independence Day of Ukraine, the network held a summit in Lviv, with a number of European far-right and neo-nazi groups in attendance.[3] The main guest speaker was the Italian far-right ideologue and essayist Gabriele Adinolfi.[4] A number of Ukrainian combat formations, including paramilitary groups associated with the Main Directorate of Intelligence were also present.[5] At the conclusion of the event, a "Memorandum of Unity and Cooperation" was signed by members of the network.[6]
In March 2025, the group held a rally organised by CasaPound in Rome calling for support for Ukraine, while displaying the banner "No to Washington, No to Moscow".[8] The network additionally held a demonstration in Berlin, distributing pamphlets marked appendix no. 88, clause 14, in reference to the fourteen words of David Lane.[9] The demonstration was attended by a number of Russian opposition figures, including Yulia Navalnaya.[10]Left-wing groups in Germany accused the mainstream media and the Berlin Police of willfully ignoring the event.[11][12]
The network published a video essay outlining its ideological position on 31 October 2024, named "The Right Today: Hour of Decision", taking its name from the book of the same name by the German writer Oswald Spengler.
Among western peoples, the only one that demonstrates health is the Ukrainian people. Ukraine is an example of the embodiment of an idea whose bearers have endured trials and obstacles on the path to its realization that most Western rightists could not even imagine, let alone experience firsthand, as did the dreamers of the OUN led by Konovalets, Melnyk and Bandera.
—Nation Europa, The Right Today: Hour of Decision
The network dismisses mainstream right-wing parties as weak and culturally irrelevant, as they are deemed insufficiently radical. Rather than political engagement, Nation Europa advocates along-term strategy of covertly embedding itself within influential social, cultural and institutional spaces. This approach is compared to the Islamic principle of taqiyya.[22]
Militarism
Inspired by the literature of Benito Mussolini, and the concept of Trincerocrazia, or "Trenchcracy", the network goes further by encouraging adherents to pursue armed involvement rather than political participation, arguing that military structures - specifically the Armed Forces of Ukraine, offers a more suitable vehicle for far-right influence than political parties in democratic societies, stating that "right representatives" form the backbone of Ukraine's armed forces.[25] Due to this stance, parties within the network voice support for mandatory conscription in their respective countries.[26]
Social issues
Nation Europa has criticised the use of hate speech legislation in the European Union and United Kingdom. During the 2024 conference in Lviv, the group expressed solidary with the Austrianneo-Nazi rapper and musical artist Philip Josef Hassler, also known under the alias Mr. Bond.[1] Hassler had been arrested in January 2021, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in April 2022 for the glorification of Nazism.
