  • Far-Right Leaders Rally in Spain to ‘Make Europe Great Again’

    02/09/2025 2:11:29 AM PST · by Cronos · 16 replies
    At a gathering in Madrid, members of Europe’s far-right parties set aside any trepidation they might have about President Trump’s threats, and instead focused on a common enemy — the European Union. ...There was Marine Le Pen of France’s far-right National Rally; the Netherland’s populist, Geert Wilders; the leader of Italy’s League party, Matteo Salvini. All made clear that they shared Mr. Trump’s charge against what they see as “wokeism,” “gender theory,” and overweening environmentalism. For them, the American president had blown through the last barriers that had confined their parties to the political margins. The taboos had been toppled....

    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...

    Jean-Marie Le Pen, the former leader of the French National Front party, presidential candidate, member of the European Parliament, and patriarch of the Le Pen political family dynasty, has died at the age of 96. A figure who loomed large over French politics over the past five decades, Mr Le Pen was hailed Tuesday by his supporters as a fearless “patriot” and derided by his detractors as a fascist and an antisemite. The Brittany-born politician served as the president of the National Front from 1972 to 2011 and honorary president of the party from 2011 to 2015 when he was...

    When Emmanuel Macron called the snap National Assembly election in June my sense was that this election was ultimately about electing a majority that was Pro-Capitalist and Pro-Israel. The new majority would weather tough times ahead driven by military conflict with Russia, economic conflict with China and the Middle East conflict in general. Pivotal in that majority would be the National Rally which in the end did not finish first like the New Popular Front of the Left did but together with Macron's centrist forces and Les Republicains the Mainstream Right create that majority... an angry man confronted President Macron...

Fresh off her anti-mass migration National Rally (RN) party’s best-ever performance in a legislative election, winning 143 seats in the National Assembly — the best ever for the party — it has been revealed that the Paris prosecutor’s office has opened a judicial investigation into alleged illegal financing of Marine Le Pen’s 2022 presidential campaign.

    A fierce week of campaigning ahead of tomorrow's second round in the election for 577 seats in France's National Assembly. The National Rally message focused on Emmanuel Macron his policies and what Marine Le Pen described as Macron's "coup" to make government appointments ahead of the final round of voting. The RN also focused its attack on the "chaos" of the Left. Meanwhile the New Popular Front focused on demonization of the "Far-Right" and what rule by the RN would mean for France. President Emmanuel Macron's moderate ENSEMBLE faction pulling many candidates out of three-way races to prevent RN victories....

    Nigel Farage has said that it would be a “disaster” if Marine Le Pen’s National Rally won power in France. The Reform UK leader said the hard-Right party would be “even worse for the economy than the current lot”. But he praised Giorgia Meloni, the hard-Right prime minister of Italy, saying: “She’s brought her party into the 21st century. Some of the more radical Italians might not like it, but she’s been a very good thing and she’s made her party electable.” Mr Farage spoke to the Unherd website before the National Rally won the largest share of the vote...

    Just as surely as British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's July 4th election call gives power to the Labour Party in the UK French President Emmanuel Macron's call for National Assembly elections June 30th and July 7th will give power to the "Far-Right" National Rally. Why make this shocking move on the heels of last Sunday's National Rally victory in the European Parliament elections? Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that the muscle of the Right is needed in government to combat the Left which has Anti-Israel and Anti-Ukraine War elements among it. Macron's Liberal Capitalism would be better served...

    Monday evening the leaders of 20 European nations gathered at the Elysee Palace in Paris (France's White House) for a conference on military support for Ukraine. There was agreement among many of those nations to send long-range weapons to Ukraine a disturbing sign of escalation in the conflict in and of itself. This was announced by President Emmanuel Macron at the end of the conference a 'ninth coalition of nations' to provide those long-range weapons for Ukraine. But what caused a splash inside France and around the world Macron's remarks... ..the French Foreign Minstry tried to 'clarify' the remarks. But...
