Defend Evropa

“Defend ‘Evropa’/Europa”, or “Defend Europe”, is a slogan of the transnational far-right “Identitarian” movement, a traditionally Euro-centric ideological movement developed by French ultranationalists and white nationalists. In youth-oriented international groups across many countries, including in Canada, the ideologies and the branding of European identitarian groups overlap with alt-right culture.

Traditionally rallying cries for hatred to immigrants and non-white Europeans, ‘Defend Europe/Europa’ has become popular in a variety of different white nationalist and white supremacist movements, even in countries outside of Europe.
