In France, Le Monde believes that the goal of Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders is straightforward: "the European far-right is seeking to federate to create a group in the European Parliament after the elections of May 2014".
However, the daily notes,the bar is set high, and the goal of the two Europhobic leaders has not yet been reached. That’s because, to form a group, they will have to get 25 members elected in at least seven countries of the European Union.
At the moment, they need two more countries. In their move they can count on the members of the European Alliance for Freedom, among which belong Marine Le Pen [...] the Austrian FPÖ [...] the Belgian Vlaams Belang, and the Swedish Democrats. A technical meeting, without the leaders, is to be held on Thursday, November 14 in Vienna.
