Jordan Bardella of National Rally is the right hand man of Marine Le Pen. He was previously involved with Generation Identitaire, a group banned in FR for neo-Nazi activity and hate crimes. They claim to fight against "white European great replacement" and support remigration.
Tom Van Grieken, the current head of the Vlaams Belang Party in Belgium, has stated that "White should be a dominant factor in our society" and that Flanders should be white and Christian. His party has been tied to neo-Nazi discords/symbolism and summer youth paramilitary camps.
The Freedom Party of Austria was founded by two former SS officers and has had members resign over poems comparing immigrants to rats and warning of "mixing cultures." They have previously been censured for use of anti-Semitic tropes and racial slurs targeting Muslims. 1/2
