Europe’s Far-Right Leaders Rally Behind Trump, Call for a Conservative Revival

[Social Media]

 

At a major gathering in Madrid, far-right political leaders from across Europe heaped praise on Donald Trump, expressing their desire to emulate his political success and bring a similar right-wing resurgence to the continent. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Italy’s deputy premier Matteo Salvini, French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, and Dutch PVV founder Geert Wilders were among those in attendance at the event, organized by Spain’s far-right Vox party. Addressing a crowd of around 2,000 flag-waving supporters, the speakers condemned illegal immigration, leftist policies, migrant rescue NGOs, and what they described as the dangers of "wokeism."  

 

Orbán, a staunch Trump ally, celebrated what he called “the Trump tornado,” stating that the former US president’s victory in the upcoming November election would have global consequences. “Yesterday we were heretics, today we're mainstream,” he proclaimed, suggesting that Trump’s rise was shifting political dynamics worldwide. The audience cheered in agreement, with regular jeers directed at European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.  

 

Throughout the event, there were frequent calls for a new "Reconquista," a reference to the medieval Christian conquest of Muslim-controlled regions in Spain. This historical parallel was used to frame the fight against immigration and multiculturalism as a cultural and political battle.  

 

Despite concerns over Trump’s threats to impose heavy tariffs on European imports, Salvini and Vox president Santiago Abascal dismissed these fears, arguing that the European Union’s own policies—such as the Green Deal and economic regulations—posed a greater risk to European prosperity.  

 

One of the dominant themes of the conference was the need to fortify Europe’s borders against illegal immigration, even though statistics from the EU border control agency Frontex indicate that irregular border crossings dropped significantly in 2024. Nevertheless, speakers continued to highlight immigration as a central threat to European identity and security.  

 

Marine Le Pen emphasized the strategic importance of their political movement, boasting that their Patriots for Europe group, which holds 84 seats in the European Parliament, would be “the only ones that can talk with the new Trump administration.” This assertion underscored the belief among Europe’s far-right leaders that a second Trump presidency would provide a crucial opportunity to reshape transatlantic relations and strengthen nationalist movements across the continent.  

 

The gathering in Madrid signaled a coordinated effort among Europe's far-right parties to capitalize on Trump’s influence, presenting themselves as the true defenders of traditional values, national sovereignty, and economic freedom. With the U.S. election looming, their message was clear: a Trump-style political transformation in Europe is not just desirable, but inevitable.

So where is the German representative?  Oh at least 100000 people are demonstrating against the return of Nazism.  Go figure

Can not wait to see the replies of hate against Trump here about this OP. Currently, I am laughing at most of those regularly posting their Anti-Trump rhetoric.

This Op must really get their goat. To imagine the other world leaders gathering simply to discuss Trumps success and how they wish their country to follow in his footsteps. Rooting out wokeism and illegal immigrants as well as auditing the government budgets to reduce national spending and debt.

I dont understand why these leaders are characterized by the words "far right" when that is a destructive Socialist term of opprobrium and hate used to justify murder and violence but now used in psychological warfare perpetuated by their journalist lackeys. 

 

So some Socialist journalist calls the leaders "far right" and that forms the basis of discussion. Here its the BBC. Duh. Who would have thought.

 

These folks arent "far right". They are common sense. Like Trump.

 

So perhaps the Beeb should have entitled this one "Common Sense leaders rally behind Common sense". But that wouldnt serve the interests of the Socialists in the arena of ideas would it.

you have to look at the news source to understand that. Wasn't it just learned that the BBC got funds from USAID to spread biased information? 

[Gsxrnz]

Left and right, far or otherwise, are becoming less and less useful as political adjectives. More correct terms are the Marxist Globalists, and the Conservative Populists.

[The Old Bull]

I like Orban, he is the only member of the EU that has any sense. The rest of them screwed themselves trying to screw Russia, what a bunch of idiots.

[jippytum]

Long overdue.  People are waking up to the threat of Muslim immigrants gainr a foothold in many areas of Europe. 

People and local authorities have been too complacent for too long. 

In the Uk labour  Starmer's  open door policies are fuelling massive  right wing support since his election. 

[wwest5829]

Not fair! It is a plot I tell you. Dangling the idea in front of Trump that he has the opportunity to not only unilaterally dominate (OK, with Musketeers help) the government of the USA but … he is increasingly viewed as a worl leader of the right wing globally!

[stevenl]

With the chaos in the US, i think it's not smart to rally behind him. 

They should go their own way and very likely succeed in a right wing surge. Hail trump i think will hurt their cause.

This has nothing to do with ‘conservatism’, just bat crap crazy extreme right wing nutbags who want to return to the dark ages of the 1930’s in Europe. And we all know what the result of that was.

[candide]

I wonder how these leaders, who are supposed to be nationalist, will react when Trump tariffs and other economic measures will hit their domestic industry! 😆

Ya all's got nothing but strawman arguments. Actually Europe in the 1930s would look good compared to where it's going now

So what you’re saying is that a rise of fascism/nazism is better than the current situation?

Something like that 

[pub2022]

If you did not get corrupted money from USAID then you are far right fascist.

If you are a honest person, you are far right.

If you belong to the middle class and do not have the money to keep your heater on during winters, then you are far right.

If you pretend your government to first help you and, only after, foreigners, then you are far right.

The pattern is clear now.
