leaders of Europe's main anti-establishment parties have held a
pan-European rally aimed at coordinating a political strategy to
mobilize potentially millions of disillusioned voters in upcoming
elections in Germany, the Netherlands and France.</p>
<p>Appearing together in public for the first time, Marine Le Pen,
leader of the French National Front, Frauke Petry, leader of the
Alternative for Germany (AfD), Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party
for Freedom (PVV), Matteo Salvini, leader of Italy's Northern League and
Harald Vilimsky of Austria's Freedom Party <a href="https://twitter.com/MLP_officiel/status/822790709749186560" target="_blank">gathered</a>
on January 21 at a rally in Koblenz, Germany, where they called on
European voters to participate in a "patriotic spring" to topple the
European Union, reassert national sovereignty and secure national
borders.</p>

<p>The two-hour rally was held under the banner of the Europe of Nations
and Freedom (ENF), a group established in June 2015 by Members of the
European Parliament from nine counties to oppose European federalism and
the transfer of political power from voters to unelected bureaucrats in
Brussels, the de facto capital of the European Union.</p></div>
