According to the EAFD, its policy is based on the following principles: the rule of law and the fight against corruption both at the level of the EU and at the level of its member states, freedom of thought and speech as well as equality between citizens and between the member states of the EU.[2]
The EAFD's application for entry in the register of the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations was rejected on 1 October 2020.[3] This was justified by the fact that the member parties of the EAFD were not represented in a quarter of the member states, either in the European Parliament, in a national parliament, or in a regional assembly.[4]
