The independent European authority overseeing parties and foundations announced last Thursday that two ultra-nationalist parties in the European Parliament will no longer be entitled to EU funding after failing to meet minimum conditions. The Alliance of European National Movements (AEMN) and Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF) have been removed from the list. This is the first-ever case where the Authority for European Political Parties and Foundations uses its power under a new, stricter set of rules. The AEMN had received some ‎228,000 euros in 2016, while APF received 328,000 euros.
