The „Europe of Sovereign Nations“ group founded on Wednesday has 25 members. 14 of them come from the AfD, who have joined forces with muddleheads, Russia-lovers and EU-haters. Maximilian Krah is left out. This means that the European Parliament will start the new legislative period with eight political groups. As the deadline for the distribution of posts has passed, the second far-right group will start without any claim to committee chairs and other posts. Its members only have one seat each in a committee. The parliamentary group is led by René Aust (AfD).
