01.–03. 05. 2026 First General Assembly of Ave Europe in Offenburg (Germany)
Ave Europe held it's First General Assembly in Offenburg (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). Ave Europe is claiming to create a pan-european party. They write on their website: "From grassroots debates to visionary policies, Ave Europa unites citizens, thinkers, and leaders across the continent to shape a democratic, sovereign, and forward-looking Europe."
A local initiative of Antifascists in Offenburg informed about the far-right links of some of the group members on their website. Local media interviewed experts who said that among the speakers are numerous figures associated with the New Right, the far right and Euroscepticism.
Former spokesperson Nikodem Skrobisz left the organisation in March, accusing Ave Europa of being infiltrated by far-right forces.
The meeting took place with no possibility for the public to attend or report. Guests were not allowed on the site. Guest speakers were David Engels (Belgium), Sandor Horvath (Hungary), Maria Joao, Paul Bekeart, Marijn Markus (Ukraine). Attendants were among others Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn (Austria).
Further meetings are announced or have taken place in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Poland, Belgium and Romania.
After the meeting Ave Europe announced:
"Despite turmoil before the event, the turnout was better than I anticipated.
Ave Europa has proven that it is here to stay.
Therefore, our mission continues:
Repatriate!
Remilitarise!
Reindustrialise!"
