About
The Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists (AECR) campaigns for radical reform of the European Union and aims to spread conservative values. It will work alongside the ECR Group in the European Parliament, its associated national parties and the New Direction think tank.
The AECR is recognised and partially funded by the European Parliament.

Seven political parties from different EU member states have signed the Prague Declaration of
Principles. To realise the goals set out in this declaration, the parties have outlined common strategies and have laid the foundations for a new Euro-realist Political Group in the European Parliament.
The European Parliament—for the very first time in its history—now has an Official Opposition: the European Conservatives and Reformists Group.
The AECR was recognised as a political formation under Article 191 of the Treaty on the European Union (TEU) by the European Parliament in January 2010. It acts as the pan-European umbrella for this new opposition movement consisting of the following eleven national member parties:
- Conservative Party, United Kingdom
- Ulster Unionist Party, United Kingdom
- Law and Justice, Poland
- Poland Comes First, Poland
- Civic Democratic Party, Czech Republic
- Libertarian Direct Democratic Party, Belgium
- Democratic Forum, Hungary
- Icelandic Independence Party, Iceland
- Electoral Action of Poles, Lithuania
- Alternative Democratic Reform Party, Luxembourg
- Civic Conservative Party, Slovak Republic
- For Fatherland & Freedom Party, Latvia
