Peter Cvjetanovic, the student whose face became the iconic image of the Charlottesville torch rally, explains his "identitarian" ideology in an interview. He denies being a white supremacist, claiming instead a desire to preserve white culture alongside other distinct ethnic cultures. Following the publication of his photo in The Guardian, Cvjetanovic and his family received hundreds of death threats and faced intense public shaming.

The Defend Europe mission, led by European Identitarians, deployed the ship Sea Star to the Mediterranean to monitor NGOs operating off the Libyan coast. The group alleges that these NGOs act as "water taxis" for human traffickers and plans to document radio signals and coordinate with the Libyan Coast Guard to block migrant transport into Europe.
