Steve Bannon plans European populist alliance via new non‑profit “The Movement”

Steve Bannon plans European populist alliance via new non‑profit “The Movement” The passage outlines a concrete plan by a former senior Trump adviser to coordinate right‑wing parties across Europe through a newly created foundation, suggesting potential foreign political influence operations and fundraising channels. It names specific actors (Bannon, Salvini, Orban, Soros) and institutions (European Parliament, Freedom Caucus) that merit further investigation into financial flows and lobbying, but lacks direct evidence of illegal activity, keeping the score in the strong‑lead range. Key insights: Bannon is establishing “The Movement” in Brussels as a non‑profit think‑tank.; Goal: coordinate right‑wing leaders (e.g., Matteo Salvini, Viktor Orbán) for 2019 EU elections.; Positioned as a counter‑weight to George Soros’s Open Society funding network.
