The 'Kalergi Plan': a century-old far-right conspiracy theory

Original: Il "piano Kalergi", il sogno bagnato di tutti i complottisti aveva origine 100 anni. Difatti il 3 ottobre 1926 iniziava

Posts are recalling that on 3 October 1926 the first Congress of the Paneuropean Union opened in Vienna, founded by Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi. The centenary has reignited discussion of the so-called 'Kalergi Plan', a debunked far-right conspiracy theory that falsely claims the count plotted to replace European populations. Commenters are pointing out that the real Paneuropean movement was about uniting Europe, not the sinister scheme conspiracists allege.

Why now: The 100th anniversary of the Paneuropean Union congress has prompted renewed debate about the conspiracy theory attached to its founder's name.
