A single amendment tabled by The Left group to the European Parliament's annual report on European political parties and foundations explicitly names fascism, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and incitement to far-right violence as incompatible with the EU's founding values. The amendment, published on 9 June 2026 as part of the report by rapporteurs Loránt Vincze and Charles Goerens, would sharpen the Parliament's stance on fundamental values conditionality for party funding by moving from a general reference to Article 2 TEU values toward a concrete, named list of prohibited ideologies and activities.
The amendment adds a new sentence stating that 'fascist, racist, antisemitic or xenophobic ideology or activity' and 'any activity inciting hatred, discrimination or far-right violence' are incompatible with EU values. This transforms the text from a general reminder of compliance into a direct political condemnation of specific movements, potentially creating a stronger basis for the Parliament to scrutinize party registration and funding. The Left group argues that the Parliament should be more explicit in its political condemnation of far-right extremism within the party funding framework.
Other political groups have not tabled amendments on this point, suggesting a lack of consensus or a preference for the status quo. The European Conservatives and Reformists and Identity and Democracy groups would likely oppose the explicit naming, viewing it as a political attack. The European People's Party and Renew Europe may support the principle but prefer a less confrontational formulation, while the Socialists and Democrats and Greens/European Free Alliance would likely be sympathetic but may have chosen not to table their own amendments to avoid fracturing a broader compromise.
The report on the application of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 2025/2445 and on the activities funded is scheduled for a plenary vote. If adopted, the amendment would strengthen the Parliament's position in any future discussions with the Council on party funding rules, though the regulation itself would require a separate legislative procedure to amend. The amendment forces a debate on whether the Parliament should move from general value references to explicit prohibitions of specific ideologies in the context of EU party funding.
