There is now a Nigel Farage in "all countries" of the EU, said the bloc's main negotiator at Brexit.
Michel Barnier said that "those who want to demolish Europe" had gained ground all over the continent and had to be defeated in the next European elections.
He was speaking at the annual congress of the main EU party, the European People's Party in Helsinki, where leaders such as Angela Merkel and Sebastian Kurz met.
"Together, united, we will win this election. It is by fighting together that we will win the trust of our fellow Europeans, because this election will be more difficult than ever, "he told his Conservative colleagues.
"We must fight against those who want to demolish Europe with their fear, their populist deception, their attacks on the European project. There is now a Farage in every country, in every country. "
Mr Barnier hardly mentioned the Brexit in his speech to the delegates, which was presented as a broader speech on the future of the European Union.
The negotiator, who is widely seen in Brussels as wanting to hold the position of President of the Council of the European Commission at the top of the hierarchy, has not become the main candidate of the EPP in the next elections to the European Parliament because of his commitments in terms of trading in Brexit.
"I will fully fulfill my mission at Brexit: it is my responsibility," he told delegates.
Being a lead candidate would have given Barnier a good chance of becoming chairman of the commission, but this appointment system could be circumvented, with member states choosing another president.
After the European elections in May 2019, Barnier will likely have concluded his talks around Brexit and will again be vying for the job, which means he could still get the job ahead.
However, the negotiator's speech did not seem to carry the delegates into the room, most of them talking to each other for the duration, and his lines of applause are struggling to land.
