Parliamentary Groups: Identity and Democracy

https://api.multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/documents/20125/9743077/N01-PUB-190720-IDGR-EN.srt

is a new group in the European Parliament,

which replaces Europe of Nations and Freedom.

Jobs and growth, security and tackling illegal immigration.

With 73 MEPs, Identity and Democracy is the fifth largest group

We have to focus on the policies which bring common benefit

if we do it together and leave other policies at the national level.

So our message is that we want a European Union that is less bureaucratic,

is simpler and is closer to the EU citizens. 

Most of its members come from Italy's League party,

the National Rally in France and the German party AfD.

It has MEPs from 6 other countries: Austria, Belgium,

the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia and Finland.

We are a pragmatic group that would like to challenge

the view that there is no alternative rhetoric that someone used in the European Union

Every time that we are facing a problem in the European Union,

the solution that the former majorities in the European Parliament

proposed to EU citizens was, we need to delegate more power to Brussels.
