TheParti Communautaire National-Européen (French pronunciation:[paʁtikɔmynotɛʁnasjɔnaløʁɔpeɛ̃],PCN) is aBelgium-based political organisation led byLuc Michel, a former member of theneo-NaziFANE party. A largelyNational Bolshevik movement, it also has activists inFrance.[1]
The PCN was founded in 1984 as a successor to the similarParti Communautaire Européen. The party bases its ideas on those ofJean-François Thiriart[1] (who served as an advisor to Michel for a time after the foundation of the group) and seeks the creation of a singleEuropean state stretching entity fromRussia to theAtlantic coast. Including activists with origins on both thefar-right andfar-left, it seeks to liberate Europe from its "Yankee and Zionist enemies".[2] Indeed, Professor Piero Ignazi has defined the group as an heir to Thiriart's early influential organisationJeune Europe.[3] Its founding membership included both those whose background wasneo-fascism and formerMaoists.[4] It has also been noted for giving support to controversial world leaders, most notablyIraq'sSaddam Hussein andLibya'sMuammar al-Gaddafi.[5] It also declared its support forecologism.[6] According to Eric Rossi, the PCN belongs to a strand of the Francophone far-right that he identifies as "ethno-differentialist revolutionary nationalism" in which he also includesNouvelle Résistance,Groupe Union Défense,Troisième voie andGroupement de recherche et d'études pour la civilisation européenne. He contrasts this with the "exclusivist nationalists" (as represented byL'Œuvre Française) and the "supremacist racialist nationalists" (Fédération d'action nationale et européenne andParti nationaliste français et européen), although including all three groups within a wider model of neo-fascism.[7]
The party has from time to time contested elections in Belgium and France (without securing elected office), although at the2007 Belgian federal election, they told their supporters to vote for theVlaams Belang and theRassemblement Wallonie France.[8]
The party is not connected to theEuropean Community Party,[clarification needed] a more recent initiative.[9]
Luc Michel, the party's founder, died on April 1, 2025, following a long illness, after several months of hospitalization.[10]
