Európa nacionalistái egyesülhetnek? A radikális jobboldal képviselőcsoportjai az Európai Parlamentben
Could the Nationalists of Europe Unite? – The Radical Right Groups in the European Parliament

Summary/Abstract: In the last few years it has been increasingly recognised that European integration and the changes in the European Union have brought about changes to the political parties in Europe. On the one hand, the European Parliament offers a new career path for politicians, while at the same time the Groups in the European Parliament and the Europarties also have an impact on political parties (Ladrech, 2012). However, the international alliances and organisations of the radical right have received limited academic attention to date, and those researchers who have dealt with the topic have generally claimed that, because of their nationalism and authoritarian political style, these parties are unable to create a stable, extensive and long-standing supranational political formation (Mudde, 2007; Almeida, 2010; Startin, 2010). This article aims to explore the patterns of the cooperation of the radical right parties in the European Parliament, as well as to present how the fi ndings on the Europe of Nations and Freedom (ENF) group complement or modify existing knowledge in this field.
