FVD continues to broaden its international reach. Its congress held in September, with guests from our new international alliance, the Europe of Sovereign Nations party, was the subject of an excellent and highly professional video report by Compact Magazin in Germany. Compact sent Armin-Paul Hampel to report – Paul is a former member of the Bundestag for AfD and a veteran journalist. The video, which is in German, contains interviews with Thierry Baudet, Pepijn van Houwelingen, Gideon van Meijeren, Eric Zemmour, Irmhild Bossdorf MEP, Stanislav Stoyanov MEP and FVD International’s director, John Laughland.

FVD International’s Vincent Vos was also recently in the international media, this time speaking in English to a German outlet. He was asked about the prospects of a Trump victory for the international system: he replied that the liberal order would no doubt collapse if Harris loses. Vincent emphasized the multilateral nature of the current world conflict, which now includes Israel-Palestine-Lebanon as well as Ukraine, and that support was seeping away from Ukraine after two years of jingoism. “The liberal order is an order of broken promises,” is one of his good lines. Also: “Europeans should understand that their interests are not the same as those of the American empire.”

FVD International is again honoured to re-publish a speech given this week by the former Czech president, Václav Klaus. He is indefatigable. The older he gets, the better he is. In this speech, he says outright not only that sovereignty is the most important issue of our day but also wokeism and liberalism are worse than the Communism under which he grew up.

Ewen Stewart of Global Britain was our guest on The Forum this week. He demonstrated the economic collapse of the UK and the West in general, a collapse which is due to the doom loop of ever more managerialism, state spending and debt. Can we ever get out of it?
