Europe's far-right political leaders have praised Donald Trump and said they wanted to "Make Europe Great Again" as they met in Madrid.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Italy's deputy premier Matteo Salvini, French National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen and Netherlands' PVV party founder Geert Wilders were among those at the gathering organised by Spanish far-right party, Vox.

Referring to what he called "the Trump tornado", Mr Orban said the Republican candidate's victory in November's US presidential election and subsequent return to the White House had "changed the world in just a few weeks... yesterday we were heretics, today we're mainstream".

Cheered by around 2,000 supporters waving Spanish flags, speakers railed against frequent right-wing targets such as immigration, leftists, migrant rescue NGOs, and "wokeism".

The names of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez were jeered loudly.

“Far right” in Europe is Trotsky vs Stalin.

Yup. As opposed to the Far Left, Quasi Communists they have in power all over Europe.

Of course, they’ll never say or type “Far Left”—just “Far Right”.
