Radical Fight Club linked to far-right networks and AUR party

Investigations have identified links between the AUR political party, led by George Simion, and far-right paramilitary networks involving martial arts clubs. The Radical Fight Club, operating under the Radical Entourage umbrella, has been identified as part of a network following the ‘Active Clubs’ model used by neo-Nazi groups in the United States and Russia. These clubs combine combat sports training with ultra-nationalist messaging and the promotion of legionary memory.

George Simion has acknowledged his involvement in founding certain structures, such as ‘Uniți sub Tricolor’, which intersect with ultra-nationalist supporter groups. Reports indicate overlaps between participants in these martial arts activities and various extremist groups like Camarazii, Honor et Patria, and Uniți sub Tricolor. The expansion of these networks has also been noted in regions such as Cluj-Napoca and Brașov, with connections to events commemorating controversial historical figures and symbols.
