The Alliance of European Republican Movements (AERM) is a grouping of republican movements from across Europe. It was established in Stockholm in June 2010,[1] after the wedding of Swedish Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling.[2][3] The aim of the AERM is to provide a network for cross-party republican movements in all the countries of Europe that have a monarch as their head of state, in order to share information, resources and ideas and provide mutual assistance.[2] Each member organisation will retain their autonomous national campaigns however, in recognition of their particular political and constitutional circumstances.
The AERM protested during the Coronation of King Charles. A video report on its Twitter channel about the arrest of protest organisers gathered millions of views and the interest of international media.[6][7]
