Resumo: It analyzes the new European protest political parties that want to break away from the European political-economic bloc, which have surprisingly been obtaining more voter support than forecast by political analysts. I examine the party laws of each of the countries and check for the existence of a relationship between the rules on founding new parties in each country and the success of these protest parties. For this purpose, the article is divided into three parts. In the first, I present the main characteristics of some of these parties. In the second, I summarize the types of legal regulation they need to follow in their respective countries. In the third, I analyze the results obtained by them at the polls in the European elections of May 2014
