Far-right European leaders gathered in Madrid at an event hosted by Spain’s Vox party under the slogan “Make Europe Great Again,” celebrating former U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies as a turning point for Europe. Attendees included Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Italy’s Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini, and French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen.
Salvini and Vox leader Santiago Abascal dismissed concerns over Trump’s tariff threats, instead blaming EU taxes and regulations for economic struggles. Abascal called the EU’s Green Deal and taxation “the great tariff.” Salvini highlighted the upcoming German election, where the far-right Alternative for Germany party is polling second.
Speakers also stressed border defense, despite Frontex reporting a sharp decline in irregular EU crossings in 2024. Le Pen said Trump’s victory signaled a “real change” for Europe and claimed her coalition was best positioned to collaborate with his administration.
