European elections 1979

The association took part in the 1979 European elections , but only the MSI was able to move into the European Parliament with 5.45% of the vote and four seats . In France , Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour was the leader of the Union française pour l'eurodroite list . The list received 1.31% of the vote and failed to make it into the European Parliament. Philippe Malaud had meanwhile left the Eurodroite and started with his own list (UDIP - FIDES, 1.40%). The Forces Nouvelles did not enter, Spain was not yet a member of the EC .

resolution

Since Eurodroite only had four Italian MEPs, the planned establishment of a political group in the European Parliament did not materialize. In 1982 the MSI moved closer to the French Front National , with which it founded the Group of the European Right after the European elections in 1984 .
