Rupert Lowe, leader of Restore Britain and Member of Parliament for Great Yarmouth, has become the first British politician to endorse the Save Europe Act, a pan-European initiative launched on 30 May in Porto, Portugal. The Act calls for an immediate halt to all non-European immigration in order to protect what its founders describe as Europe’s ethnocultural identity.
Lowe’s support for the Act marks a significant development amid ongoing debates on immigration policy across Europe.
Hardline Immigration Stance
The Save Europe Act demands an immediate stop to both legal and illegal non-European immigration. It also calls for stronger border security measures, a complete overhaul of asylum systems, and mass deportations of illegal migrants and failed asylum seekers. The initiative claims to defend the collective heritage and national sovereignty of native Europeans.
Support From Right-wing Figures
Rupert Lowe joins prominent far-right European politicians in backing the Act, including Germany’s AfD politician Björn Höcke, Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński, and Austrian far-right activist Martin Sellner. Together, they form a pan-European front opposing immigration from outside Europe.
The Save Europe Act has gathered nearly 44,000 signatures so far, with a target of 100,000 signatures required to become an official EU Citizens’ Initiative.
Political Impact in the UK
Since founding Restore Britain in 2025 and registering it as a political party in 2026, Rupert Lowe has advocated for tough immigration policies. His party is positioned to the right of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Currently, Restore Britain is contesting seats such as Makerfield, which has raised concerns about potential right-wing vote splits and criticism from moderates worried about alienation.
Mixed Reactions Across Europe
Supporters of the Save Europe Act praise it as a firm stance on border control and cultural preservation. However, critics condemn the Act as far-right and argue that it is impractical under international human rights laws and asylum regulations. The Act’s ultimate influence will depend on whether it reaches the signature threshold and compels the European Commission to respond to its demands.
