Steve Bannon’s European “Movement” Think‑Tank Plans to Mobilise Right‑Wing Parties Ahead of EU Elections

Steve Bannon’s European “Movement” Think‑Tank Plans to Mobilise Right‑Wing Parties Ahead of EU Elections The passage outlines a coordinated effort by Steve Bannon to create a trans‑national right‑wing think‑tank that could influence European elections and mentions meetings with high‑profile leaders (Orban, Le Pen, Farage). It provides a concrete organizational goal, staff size, and timeline, which are actionable leads for investigators. However, the document lacks specific financial transactions, dates beyond a vague 2019 launch, and verifiable evidence, limiting its immediate investigative potency. Key insights: Bannon aims to build a European “populist international” think‑tank called “The Movement”.; Staff of 10 planned, operational by 2019, targeting up to one‑third of the European Parliament.; Links to known right‑wing figures: Matteo Salvini, Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage, Italy’s Lega and Five Star Movement.
