The Alliance for Europe of the Nations is a pan-European political party that gathers conservative and national-conservative parties from across the continent.

[edit] Membership

The AEN's membership is in long-term decline: many of the more notable parties have left, and most new members lack electoral representation. At its first meeting, participants included the Czech Civic Democratic Party, Portuguese CDS-PP, Israeli Likud, Irish Fianna Fáil, Italian National Alliance and the Greek Popular Orthodox Rally,^[2] all of which have since left the organization.

While the AEN in the broad is national-conservative, many members were uncomfortable with this political line. There was a strong movement for the centrist Fianna Fáil to leave AEN and join the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party, which it did on 17 April 2009. Also, National Alliance, which despite its post-fascist background was a moderate national-conservative party strongly promoting European integration, grew uncomfortable with AEN and left it for the European People's Party by merging into The People of Freedom party on 27 March 2009.

MEPs elected from its member-parties were expected to sit in the affiliated Union for Europe of the Nations (UEN) group in the European Parliament, but UEN collapsed in 2009.
