If any European Union money is ever paid out to the newly formed European Alliance of National Movements, it will not go to individual parties but to promote pro-nationalist causes, Nick Griffin MEP has said.

Speaking to BNP News after the official launch of the new alliance, which was first announced on this website, Mr Griffin said none of the nationalist parties actually expected to see any of the EU funds.

“When this fund was set up three or four years ago, all the other British parties represented in the European Union voted enthusiastically for its creation,” Mr Griffin said.

“Only the nationalist parties in the European parliament voted against it. The other parties, however, eagerly grabbed their share of the €11 million per year. That money has been allocated, and it gets paid out no matter what. If the nationalists do not apply for it, it will just go to the other political parties, and will not be saved.”

However, Mr Griffin said, the nationalists fully expect the establishment parties to quickly change the rules. “There is no possibility of any of this money becoming available until April 2011, and it is our belief that when our exposing of this funding system reaches the public, the establishment parties will probably quickly change the rules.

“They will either do away with it, or restrict access to it. We are not particularly bothered either way, as we have successfully drawn attention to the fact that all the establishment parties in Britain have been helping themselves to a share of over a million euros every year to promote themselves.”

Mr Griffin said the Euro nationalist alliance was in any event not building itself on EU money. “Even if the funding never comes about, we will still go ahead and build the alliance because there is a great deal we can learn from each other and our co-operation will be that much more effective,” he said.

Nonetheless, if the new alliance did manage to get funding from the EU, Mr Griffin promised that it would be used to fund anti-EU projects “in accordance with the wishes of the majority of British voters who are firmly opposed to that internationalist body.

“This money would be used for the creation of a research body and organisation dedicated to at least slowing down the Euro juggernaut,” he said.

“For example, it might be used to hold a conference on a given subject, such as defending Europe’s borders against mass immigration.

“We might put together a study group to investigate the global warming issue. I would not want to prejudge or even predict any conclusion such a study may draw, but it might, for example, might find that the whole thing is a scare made up as an excuse to tax and control us even more.

“Such an investigation could pull together the considerable number of scientists who oppose the global warming theory and put together a case for the millions of people who have looked at the scientific evidence and are not in the least bit convinced,” Mr Griffin said.

“Another use might be to bring young technocrats from the different countries together to pool our common knowledge and make ourselves more efficient. The formation of the alliance also gives lie to the internationalist leftist claim that nationalist parties always result in conflict. We are going to work together for our common survival,” Mr Griffin said.

The new alliance’s manifesto says it “rejects all attempts to create a European superstate.”

It calls for “a humane and peaceful solution to the problem of immigration” through co-operation to raise living standards in developing countries.

It advocates “effective protection of Europe against the new threats of terrorism, as well as against political, economic, financial or religious imperialism.”

It calls for “strong pro-family policies to reverse Europe’s population decline and to promote traditional values in society.”

The alliance also wants a “joint fight” against “the destructive effects of globalisation.”
