HimselfEurope

HimselfEurope is a political party in the European Union, founded in 2019 by former French President François Hollande. The party's name is a play on words, combining the French word "homme" (man) with the English word "himself," reflecting its focus on individualism and personal responsibility. The party's platform emphasizes the importance of personal freedom, economic responsibility, and a strong defense of European sovereignty.

HimselfEurope advocates for a more decentralized European Union, with greater powers given to individual member states. The party supports a reduction in the EU's bureaucracy and a streamlining of its institutions. It also advocates for a more balanced approach to immigration, emphasizing the importance of integration and the rights of immigrants while also addressing the concerns of host communities.

The party's economic policies are centered around promoting individual enterprise and reducing the role of the state in the economy. HimselfEurope supports a reduction in taxes and regulations, arguing that this will stimulate economic growth and create jobs. The party also advocates for a more flexible labor market, with greater protections for workers but also more flexibility for employers.

HimselfEurope's foreign policy is characterized by a strong defense of European sovereignty and a commitment to multilateralism. The party supports a more active role for the EU in international affairs, particularly in the areas of security and defense. It also advocates for a more balanced approach to trade, with a focus on promoting European industries while also ensuring fair competition.

The party has been criticized for its lack of clear policies and its reliance on the personal popularity of its founder. However, it has also been praised for its innovative approach to politics and its commitment to individual freedom and responsibility. HimselfEurope has been involved in various elections and referendums across Europe, although it has not yet gained significant representation in any national parliament.
