The European Federalist Party is a pro-European, pan-European and federalist political party which advocates further integration of the European Union through the establishment of a democratic and federal Europe.[1]

The party was launched in Paris on 6 November 2011 as a merger of Europe United and the French Federalist Party.[2] Its aim is to gather all Europeans to promote European federalism and to participate in all elections all over Europe. Its first electoral contest was the European Parliament election, 2014, in which it failed to secure a seat.[3]

The EFP also has representatives in other EU countries, as well as in  Iceland,  Norway,  China, and the  United States.
