Two far-right parties from these countries, the French National Front and the Dutch Freedom Party, have now formed an alliance ahead of the European Parliament elections in May 2014. They hope to attract likeminded parties in other EU countries and form a parliamentary bloc powerful enough to slay “the monster of Europe,” as Geert Wilders, the Freedom Party’s leader, calls the EU.
巴黎—2005年，欧盟的两个创始国法国和荷兰以全民公投拒绝了欧盟宪法条约。这两个国家的两个极右翼政党——法国国民阵线（French National Front）和荷兰自由党（Dutch Freedom Party）如今抢在2014年5月的欧洲议会选举前结成了同盟。它们希望吸引欧盟国家立场相似的政党，组成一股强大的议会派别除掉“欧洲恶魔”——自由党领袖怀德斯（Greet Wilders）这样称呼欧盟。
