Alliance for the Independence of the Czech Republic (Czech: Aliance za nezávislost ČR) is Czech far-right and nationalistic electoral alliance formed for the 2024 European Parliament election. The alliance was formed in October 2023 and is led by a MEP and a former general of the Czech army Hynek Blaško.[1][2][3]
The alliance supports the withdrawal of Czech Republic from the European Union and NATO, is opposed to Green Deal and international migration and advocates for a political neutrality.[4] It hoped to terminate the Czech membership in NATO by writing a letter addressed to the President of the United States Joe Biden, citing Article 13 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Several diplomats commented their efforts as "ridiculous" and the Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Lipavský have reaffirmed the importance of the membership in a reaction to the letter.[5]
