BUDAPEST, HUNGARY (July 20, 2021) — The European Conservative announced today its relaunch as a full-color print quarterly, the result of strategic partnerships with several European organizations. Its inaugural Summer 2021 edition is expected to be on select newsstands worldwide by the end of the month.

The European Conservative, which was published informally for nearly a decade, earlier this year became an official publication of the European Conservative Nonprofit Limited, based in Budapest. The organization will publish The European Conservative, in partnership with the CEDI/EDIC, a research institute in Vienna, and Nazione Futura, a conservative think-tank based in Rome.

A new, redesigned website was also launched today. It will be updated weekly with new web-exclusive content, including occasional news reports and analysis. Additional features — such as podcasts and videos — will also be incorporated into the online platform in the future.

“This is an exciting new phase in the life of a publication that has increasingly become a platform for the promotion of all kinds of conservative thought,” says Alvino-Mario Fantini, the Editor-in-Chief of The European Conservative. “And the timing couldn’t be better, given the growing crackdown on conservative and traditionalist ideas on the part of governments and ‘woke’ corporations everywhere.”

The Summer 2021 print edition of The European Conservative features 112 full-color pages with contributions by Polish philosopher Ryszard Legutko MEP, British essayist Anthony Daniels, Austrian journalist Karl-Peter Schwarz, Irish philosopher Mark Dooley, classicist and historian David Engels, and Canadian writer Jonathon Van Maren, among many others.

The Summer 2021 edition — which is Issue 19 — also includes a speech by the late Sir Roger Scruton, tributes to HRH The Prince Philip and Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, and a reflection on the life of Sir Peregrine Worsthorne by veteran British journalist, John O’Sullivan.

The European Conservative publishes articles, essays, interviews, and reviews reflecting the different varieties of conservative, traditionalist, and right-wing thought from across Europe and around the world. Although its interests are primarily intellectual, academic, and theoretical, it also seeks to form new friendships, expand its networks, and establish alliances with others across Europe and around the world.

Fantini, one of the founders of the European Conservative Nonprofit Limited, said that “if the Left has taught us anything, it is that the only way to have an impact is to stop fighting amongst ourselves and collaborate — building strong coalitions around shared values, and forming strong, productive partnerships with conservative intellectuals and other allies around the world.”
“As we look around the world at the ruins of civilization, and the profound damage wrought by progressive and woke ideologues,” says Fantini, “the inescapable conclusion is that we are compelled to act — for if we do not, and instead let others determine the narrative and drive the agenda, then the death of the West is all but guaranteed. It is our duty to resist.”

The European Conservative

The European Conservative was established in June 2008 by a group of volunteers from the Center for European Renewal, an educational nonprofit registered in The Netherlands.

For close to a decade, the publication was published intermittently, in small batches, and distributed at conferences, seminars, and workshops in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Poland, Spain, the UK, and the U.S. A PDF version of these early editions was also distributed widely, reaching as far as Brazil and Japan.
