Agir (Belgium)
Agir (''Act'') was a Belgian far-right political party active in Wallonia. The party existed from 1989 to 1997 and elected representatives at a provincial and municipal level. The initial base of Agir was the Liège branch of the '' Parti des forces nouvelles'' (PFN). The PFN had endured poor electoral results as well as adverse publicity following a brawl with police at the Brussels International Book Festival, resulting in the Liège going their own way in 1989.Piero Ignazi, ''Extreme Right Parties in Western Europe'', Oxford University Press, 2006,p. 128 The three founding leaders of Agir were Willy Freson, a one-tine leading activist in the '' Front de la Jeunesse'', Robert Destordeur, a member of the PFN secretariat and Robert Steuckers, the main ideologue of the ''Nouvelle droite'' tendency in Belgium.

Political Parties Disestablished In 1997
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and nonviolent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it.

Francophone Political Parties In Belgium
French became an international language in the Middle Ages, when the power of the Kingdom of France made it the second international language, alongside Latin. This status continued to grow into the 18th century, by which time French was the language of European diplomacy and international relations. According to the 2022 report of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), 409 million people speak French. The OIF states that despite a decline in the number of learners of French in Europe, the overall number of speakers is rising, largely because of its presence in African countries: of the 212 million who use French daily, 54.7% are living in Africa. The OIF figures have been contested as being inflated due to the methodology used and its overly broad definition of the word francophone. According to the authors of a 2017 book on the world distribution of the French language, a credible estimate of the number of "francophones réels" (real francophones), that ...

Neo-Nazi
Neo-Nazism comprises the post–World War II militant, social, and political movements that seek to revive and reinstate Nazi ideology. Neo-Nazis employ their ideology to promote hatred and racial supremacy (often white supremacy), attack racial and ethnic minorities (often antisemitism and Islamophobia), and in some cases to create a fascist state. Neo-Nazism is a global phenomenon, with organized representation in many countries and international networks. It borrows elements from Nazi doctrine, including antisemitism, ultranationalism, racism, xenophobia, ableism, homophobia, anti-communism, and creating a "Fourth Reich". Holocaust denial is common in neo-Nazi circles. Neo-Nazis regularly display Nazi symbols and express admiration for Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders. In some European and Latin American countries, laws prohibit the expression of pro-Nazi, racist, antisemitic, or homophobic views. Many Nazi-related symbols are banned in European countries (especially ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

German League For People And Homeland
The German League for People and Homeland (german: Deutsche Liga für Volk und Heimat or ) is a far-right political organization in Germany. History The DVLH had its origins in the power struggle within '' Die Republikaner'' between moderate leader Franz Schönhuber and his more extreme deputy Harald Neubauer, which culminated in Schönhuber being forced to temporarily resign in 1990.Mudde, ''The Ideology of the Extreme Right'', Manchester University Press, 2000, p. 34 However he soon gained the upper hand and, returning to the leadership, forced Neubauer out of the party and replaced him as vice-chairman with Rolf Schlierer. With Neubauer and a number of his followers purged, they regrouped in January 1991 under the banner of the ''Deutsche Allianz-Vereinigte Rechte'', before adopting the DVLH sobriquet later that same year. The new group had the declared aim of uniting the many factions on the far-right under a single banner and initially had some success, attracting three Republi ...
