Issue 19

The Summer 2021 print edition of The European Conservative marked our re-launch as a full-color quarterly. It features 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. It 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. 

“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,” Alvino-Mario Fantini, the Editor-in-Chief of The European Conservative said of the publication’s re-launch. “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.”

“As we look around the world at the ruins of civilization, and the profound damage wrought by progressive and woke ideologues,” said 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.”

Fantini concluded, “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.”
