Ahead of the 2024 European election, we have focused on a series of articles on extreme right-wing organizations and figures that are operating in the orbit of the European Conservatives and Reformists group and party in the European Parliament. #ECR

Many of the speeches from the extreme right-wing National Conservatism Conference are now online (including Viktor Orbán, Nigel Farage, Suella Braverman, Hans-Georg Maaßen, Rod Dreher, David Engels, Frank Furedi, Ryszard Legutko etc.) #NatCon2024 #NatCon https://t.co/YHQvAMWGfv

The think tank of the European Conservatives and Reformists, New Direction, serves as an interface with the extra-parliamentary Right. It coordinates a Working Group on Conservatism in Europe, a select group of extreme right-wing networkers and publicists. https://t.co/CAStBDvFaO

The Batthyány Lajos Foundation is a prime channel of the #Fidesz government to fund sympathetic orgs. Among them is the Center for Fundamental Rights, which organizes #CPACHungary, the EU iteration of the influential US right-wing conference series. #CPAC https://t.co/YuNpzX4gPL
