The initial base of Agir was the Liège branch of the Parti des forces nouvelles (PFN).
[1] The three founding leaders of Agir were Willy Freson, a one-tine leading activist in the Front de la Jeunesse, Robert Destordeur, a member of the PFN secretariat and Robert Steuckers, the main ideologue of the Nouvelle droite tendency in Belgium.
[1] The party belonged to an authoritarian and xenophobic ideology of the far-right, eschewing the neoliberalism that was growing in importance at the time.
[2] The party however rejected the biological racism of its PFN predecessor, preferring instead to emphasise cultural nationalism and identity politics.
[6] Externally, the party established connections with the German League for People and Homeland and the French National Front as well as individual activists within the neo-Nazi subculture.
