Steve Bannon reportedly planning a Europe‑wide populist “Movement” think‑tank to coordinate right‑wing parties ahead of 2019 elections The passage outlines a concrete organizational effort by a high‑profile U.S. political operative (Steve Bannon) to influence European elections, naming several senior politicians and suggesting fundraising and strategic‑advice activities. While lacking specific financial figures or documented transactions, it provides actionable leads (e.g., the “Movement” staff, its timeline, and target parties) that merit further verification and could expose trans‑Atlantic political coordination. Key insights: Bannon aims to create a European‑wide populist alliance (“Movement”) with a staff of ~10 people, operational by 2019.; The effort is positioned as a counter‑weight to George Soros’s Open Society funding of NGOs.; Bannon allegedly has contacts with Matteo Salvini, Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Pen, Nigel Farage, and Italy’s Lega and Five Star movements.
