The June Movement acknowledged Denmark's membership of the European Union, but opposed the process of tighter European integration including the Lisbon Treaty, and in general the movement wanted the EU to deal with only cross-border issues such as environmental and trade policies.

The movement attracted activists from the now-defunct youth organization Unge Mod Unionen, including former candidates for the European Parliament and board members.

Bonde later stopped being a leading member of the June Movement, instead working as an adviser for the cross-European Libertas Party.

In general the movement wanted the EU to deal with only cross-border issues such as environmental and trade policies.

Nature sustainability, human and animal health should have higher priority than capital movements and free market issues.

The movement also wanted the EU to skip interference into areas which were covered by other international organisations, such as human rights, defence and security politics.

Slovenia is the third EU country home to a June Movement; although this party did not run in the 2004 elections, it planned to do so in 2009.

In 2005, some prominent members of the June Movement decided to leave the organisation because they disagreed with certain conservative or traditionalist parties which participated in the Independence and Democracy group.

[citation needed] Since then, the Lega Nord and most MEPs of the League of Polish Families also left the Independence/Democracy group.
