AENM's founding members were Jobbik (the alliance was established during their sixth party congress), France's National Front, Italy's Tricolour Flame, Sweden's National Democrats and Belgium's National Front.[3]
At the end of 2011, the National Front withdrew from AENM and joined the European Alliance for Freedom (EAF).[4]
In 2014,the All-Ukrainian Union "Freedom" terminated its observer status in the AENM, due to many members of the bloc showing support for Russia in the 2014 Ukrainian crisis.[5]
In February 2016, Jobbik cut all of its affiliation with AENM and the president of AENM Béla Kovács left Jobbik.[6]
