Far-right Patriots group misspent €270k in EU Parliament funds in 2024
The European Parliament ordered the far-right Patriots for Europe group to return €276,967 in misused EU funds due to improper donations, procurement breaches, and irregular contracts, including to companies linked to France’s National Rally. The audit found the group funded local organizations and awarded tenders without following procedures, similar to prior issues with the now-defunct Identity and Democracy group.
