Le Pen, Orbán and Meloni rail against socialism and ‘massive illegal migration’ at ‘great patriotic convention’ in Madrid

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/21515008

International far-right leaders, including France’s Marine Le Pen, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Argentina’s Javier Milei, came together in Madrid to rail against socialism and “massive illegal migration” three weeks before hard-right parties are expected to see a surge in support in June’s European elections.

Sunday’s “great patriotic convention”, which was organised by Spain’s far-right Vox party, offered conservatives and far-right populists a chance to congregate and take aim at a variety of familiar targets, from the welfare state to “wokeness” and the agendas of Brussels-based bureaucrats.

The event was also attended by Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, André Ventura, the leader of Portugal’s far-right Chega party, and the Chilean far-right leader José Antonio Kast.

      Meanwhile orban bringing MANY immigrants to hungary, intentionally

      He should’ve learned from the Netherlands. Right wing made claims about asylum seekers. While showing immigration figures.

      In Netherlands immigration is not due to asylum seekers. Immigration consist of students and knowledge workers.

      Anyway, they said there was a huge issue with reuniting families of asylum seekers. There wasn’t an issue, it was just claimed.

      Netherlands now have a radical right wing government. Based off of untrue statements. They’re planning to save loads of money, just need the EU to make those happen. Meaning, it won’t happen. Obvious plan is to blame the EU for things which are predictable.

        The orban doesnt care about the future, or its country. It only wants to get loads of money, doesnt matter how, and what are the consequences. The orban and its comrades, and their families can just fly away from hungary with their tax paid luxury aircrafts.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    International far-right leaders, including France’s Marine Le Pen, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Argentina’s Javier Milei, came together in Madrid to rail against socialism and “massive illegal migration” three weeks before hard-right parties are expected to see a surge in support in June’s European elections.

    Orbán, who sent a video message, said it was time “for patriots to occupy Brussels”, adding that those in the Belgian capital were “unleashing massive illegal migration” and “poisoning our children with gender propaganda”.

    Le Pen, whose National Rally party is leading the polls in France, said she knew she could count on Vox’s support in the European parliament to “begin to reorientate” the EU.

    Milei hit back on Sunday, referring to the corruption allegations relating to the wife of Pedro Sánchez, Spain’s socialist prime minister.

    Sánchez, who has called the allegations baseless and the brainchild of his political and media opponents, recently took five days out of the public eye to reflect on whether he wished to continue in office because of the ferocity of the personal attacks on his family.

    Speaking on Sunday afternoon, Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Albares, said the government expected a full public apology from Milei.
