At a Vox-organized event in Madrid, far-right leaders, including Viktor Orban and Matteo Salvini, praised Trump’s agenda as a catalyst for change in Europe. They downplayed potential tariffs from Trump, arguing that EU taxes pose a greater threat. Discussions also emphasized the necessity of border control against illegal immigration, despite a reported decrease in crossings. Le Pen articulated the urgency of aligning European politics with technological advancements and claimed that the current far-right coalition is best positioned to collaborate with Trump.
"The great tariff is the Green Deal and the confiscatory taxes of Brussels and socialist governments across Europe," said Abascal.
Salvini referenced the "historic opportunity" ahead of Germany's Feb. 23 election, where the far-right Alternative for Germany party is polling second.
Le Pen argued that Trump's election triumph presented Europe with a "real change" and criticized the EU's role in technological advancements.
"We are the only ones that can talk with the new Trump administration," said Le Pen regarding European leaders' potential collaboration.
