== History ==

In April 2024, nationalist parties from nine countries met at the invitation of the Bulgarian Revival party.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bta.bg/en/news/bulgaria/652506-parties-from-nine-countries-sign-joint-declaration-at-vazrazhdane-organized-conf |title=Parties from Nine Countries Sign Joint Declaration at Vazrazhdane-Organized Conference}}</ref> In the so-called Sofia Declaration, they called for the preservation of national borders and the sovereignty of the individual European states. Participants were the Greek [[Agricultural Livestock Party of Greece|AKKEL]], [[Revival Party (Moldova)|Renastere]] (Moldova), [[Forum for Democracy]] (FvD, Netherlands), [[Republic Movement]] (Slovakia), [[Serbian Party Oathkeepers|Zavetnici]] (Serbia), [[Our Homeland Movement]] (MHM, Hungary), [[Alternative for Sweden]] and {{ill|Mass-Voll!|fr|Mass-Voll!}} (Switzerland).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/hooligans-talks-underway-to-form-new-anti-globalist-right-wing-party-group/ |title='Hooligans': Talks Underway to Form New Anti-Globalist Right-Wing Party Group |date=5 June 2024}}</ref> From the participants of this meeting, Revival, Republic Movement and MHM entered the European Parliament for the first time in the [[2024 European Parliament election|2024 European elections]]. Shortly before the election, the German [[Alternative for Germany]] (AfD) MEPs were expelled from the [[Identity and Democracy]] group due to extreme views and allegedly Russian influence.<ref name=politico>{{cite web |url=https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/eu-election-playbook/new-eu-parties-and-cash-fever-dreams/ |title=New EU parties and cash fever dreams}}</ref> The AfD and Revival had previously been in contact. Together with representatives of other parties, their MEPs founded the [[Europe of Sovereign Nations Group]].

The ESN Party was founded by the parties involved in the ESN Group, as well as the Dutch FvD which missed entering the European Parliament, on 14 August 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://table.media/europe/news/warum-die-afd-eine-neue-europa-partei-gruendet/ |title=Warum die AfD eine neue Europa-Partei gründet |date=26 August 2024}}</ref>

On 6 September, the ESN Party applied for registration with the [[Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations]]. The establishment of an affiliated [[European political foundation]] is planned,<ref name=tagesschau/> but was postponed, according to the ESN, because of complex administrative requirements.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.politico.eu/article/far-right-far-left-european-parliament-miss-out-million-bureaucracy-esn-ela/ |title=Far right, far left in European Parliament miss out on millions because of bureaucracy |date=30 September 2024 |last1=Griera |first1=Max |last2=Cokelaere |first2=Hanne |publisher=Politico Europe}}</ref> On 30 September, the ESN Party was registered by the [[Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations]] as a European political party.<ref~~>{{cite~~ ~~web |url~~name=~~https://www.appf.europa.eu/appf/en/europe-of-sovereign-nations/products-details/20240930CDT13662~~"registration" |title=Europe of Sovereign Nations |date=30 September 2024 |author= |publisher=Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations |website=appf.europa.eu}}</~~ref~~>
