Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France’s Marine Le Pen headlined a rally in Madrid on Saturday by Europe’s biggest far-right bloc, buoyed by Donald Trump’s return to power and calling for “a 180-degree pivot”.
Patriots for Europe has realigned extreme-right forces in the European Union. It became the European Parliament’s third-largest force after Orban helped launch it last year to pull the bloc towards the far right.
“Yesterday we were the heretics. Today we are the mainstream… We are the future,” proclaimed Orban, sharing the stage with other leading extreme-right nationalists including Dutch anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and former Czech premier Andrej Babis.
Lol europe was never great. Would be more apt to say make Europe a fractured waring kolonialist mess again
MEAFWKMA.
Nah. Not going to work.
Yes it’s a particularly dumb slogan when most of their common “plan” is about destroying Europe. They are basically saying “can we go back to hating and periodically invading each other?”.
These guys are united by their dislike of each other. Which is fair enough, because I really dislike every single one of them too. I just wish instead of all this talking they mounted on their horses and jousted, like back then when Europe was, you know… great?
Actually, Europe has been, and still is, great. Of course, there’s always room for improvement, but not with the nazis. They are super backwards.
