Union for Europe of the Nations

UEN logo

The Union for Europe of the Nations is a nationalist and (mostly) euro-sceptic party grouping with seats in the European Parliament. It is attached to the broader Alliance for Europe of the Nations organization. Fianna Fáil and National Alliance are considered the driving forces behind the group despite they being alone in their support for the proposed European Constitution which was negotiated by FF leader Bertie Ahern, when he was President of the European Council in 2004, written also by AN leader Gianfranco Fini, member of the Convention presided by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.
