The European Liberation Front (ELF) was a neo-Nazi, pan-European nationalist group that split from Oswald Mosley's fascist Union Movement in 1948.[1] Its founder was Francis Parker Yockey.[2] It issued a manifesto called The Proclamation of London, written by Yockey.[2][3] The movement had little impact in its time, with a total membership of 150 card-carrying members at its peak.[citation needed] It lasted until 1954.[4]
Reception
In the 1990s, the ELF, Yockey, and his ideology, were rediscovered by the Nouvelle Résistance, Alternativa Europea, National-Bolshevik Party, National Revolutionary Faction, and others. In 1999, a manifesto of a second 'European Liberation Front' was published in Paris, but there is apparently no more active organisation of that name now.[citation needed] During the 21st century, Arktos Media, Counter-Currents, Greg Johnson and the New Zealand-based New Right author Kerry Bolton have promoted a revival of interest in the ELF and Yockey.[citation needed]
