Free Palestine Party
European political organization
The Free Palestine Party (FPP) is a European political party founded by pro-Palestinian Muslim minority parties in Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.[1][2] These parties participated in the 2024 European parliament election under the Free Palestine slogan.[3] None of the parties in the party won a single seat in the elections.
Ideology
The declared goal of the Free Palestine Party is to raise awareness of the consequences of the Israel–Hamas war and call on the European Union to take more decisive action against Israel.[3]
The Free Palestine Party claims to support the idea of a two-state solution of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. To achieve this goal, its members advocate dialogue between the various parties involved, including Hamas.[3]
In addition to the Palestinian issue, the FPP program lists proposals in the field of the environment, combating tax evasion and discrimination.[4]
History
The coalition of parties presented its program on 19 March 2024 in Brussels. Nagib Azergui, founder of the Union of French Muslim Democrats, called on Europe to "be consistent with its promises of peace on the continent and throughout the world." According to him, as Israel's largest trading partner, the EU should apply sanctions against it in order to achieve a negotiated solution to the conflict.[3]
