Patriotic Front

Patriotic Front (German: Patriotische Front, Dutch: Patriottisch Front, PF) is a nationalist and right-wing populist party in Rhinea.
The PF was established by a group of Christian Union members who felt the party had become too moderate and had lost touch with the concerns of ordinary Rhinean citizens. They advocated for a stronger emphasis on national identity, stricter immigration policies, and a return to traditional values.
The party initially struggled to gain traction, but its popularity began to grow in the 2010s, fueled by a surge in nationalist sentiment across Rhinea. Despite its growing influence, the PF has faced significant opposition from the Christian Union, which has steadfastly refused to cooperate with the party. This stance has prevented the PF from entering any cabinet formation talks and has significantly limited its ability to influence policy decisions.
The PF was a member of the Europe of Nations and Freedom and later Identity and Democracy groups in the European Parliament. These affiliations reflect the PF's commitment to building a pan-European movement based on a shared nationalist and populist agenda. On 8 July 2024, the Patriotic Front joined the Patriots for Europe, originally founded by Viktor Orbán with the Czech ANO and the Austrian FPÖ parties on a platform of refusing military aid to Ukraine, anti-immigration, and pro-"traditional family" values.
