'''EuroNat''' was a [[Far-right politics|far-right]] and [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] [[European political alliances|European political alliance]], formed at the congress of the French [[National Rally|National Front]] (FN) in [[Strasbourg]] on 30 March 1997.<ref name=m11>Mareš, 2006, p. 11.</ref> It had a loose organisational structure, and was, in practice, based on coordination by activities of the FN.<ref name=m11/>

The organisation failed to attract much support in [[Western Europe]], as FN leader [[Jean-Marie Le Pen]] was more successful in gathering support in [[Eastern Europe]].<ref name=m11/> [[NordNat]] was an attempt to form a regional organisation by Nordic parties.<ref name=m11/> As of the late 2000s, only the [[National Rally|FN]], [[British National Party|BNP]], [[National Democrats (Sweden)|ND]], MS-FT, [[National Democracy (Spain)|DN]] and [[New Right (Netherlands)|NR]] parties were listed as members of EuroNat.

In a joint declaration, the founders of EuroNat expressed, among other things, the view that a "reborn" Europe "should be built with the European nations based on civilizations rooted in Greek, Celtic, Germanic, Latin and Christian traditions."<ref>{{cite book|editor1=Bim Clinell |title=Demokratins förgörare|year=1999|publisher=Fakta Info Direk|location=Stockholm|display-editors=et. al.|language=sv |url=https://www.regeringen.se/contentassets/91eb2be18b9e4e52aaeba109ab316577/demokratins-forgorare}}</ref> The declaration was signed by representatives of, among others, Forza Nuova, the Greater Romanian Party and Democracia Nacional, as well as the previously mentioned Sweden Democrats and Front National.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sdarkivet.se/publikationer/sd-bulletinen/SD-Bulletinen_1998_10.pdf |title=Archived copy |website=www.sdarkivet.se |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924095703/http://www.sdarkivet.se/publikationer/sd-bulletinen/SD-Bulletinen_1998_10.pdf |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
