Steve Bannon Sets Sights On Europe With Planned New Political Project
Steve Bannon built his career on right-wing politics inside the United States but now he's taking on a new frontier: the European Parliament.
Bannon described his plan to create a right-leaning foundation called "The Movement" to The Daily Beast. He plans to establish its headquarters in Brussels.
The Movement, according to Bannon's account, is envisioned as a non-profit organization that will serve as the right's equivalent of George Soros' Open Society.
Bannon's goal is to create a hub where the populist right can receive help with polling, research, voter targeting, policy proposals, and field operations among other efforts to help unite European populist groups.
