Numerous leaders have urged Europe to resist lenient migration policies, along with globalist and woke agendas.
Right-wing leaders from various European nations have advocated for a new “Reconquista” to uphold the continent’s traditional values and cultural identity while taking aim at the EU’s migration strategies.
On Saturday, the Patriots for Europe group, which ranks as the third-largest political bloc in the EU parliament, convened in Madrid for its first significant rally following the summer elections. Prominent figures at the event included Santiago Abascal, the head of Spain’s conservative Vox party; Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban; Marine Le Pen of France’s National Rally party; along with other notable conservative and right-wing leaders.
The rally was themed “Make Europe Great Again,” a clear reference to US President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan. Discussions focused on confronting Islam, EU bureaucracy, globalism, and left-wing “woke policies” as well as diversity.
The term “Reconquista” resonated throughout the gathering, with Abascal drawing parallels between the current political challenges and the historical efforts of Christian kingdoms to reclaim modern Spain from Muslim control during the Middle Ages.
“We Spaniards are proud to be known for that extraordinary feat of our ancestors. We are ready to be that again,” Abascal stated. “We are ready to be that wall of Europe once again in the face of Islamist advance,” he continued, pledging to combat “global dictatorship,” including that which comes from Brussels.
Martin Helme, leader of Estonia’s Conservative People’s Party, also invoked the idea of a new Reconquista. “For Europe to be great again, we need to have a new Reconquista,” he asserted, claiming that globalist elites were attempting to “damage our Christian civilization and replace it with their sick satanic utopia.”
Orban, a steadfast critic of the EU’s lenient migration policies, chimed in by suggesting that “the replacement of the population of Europe is not a conspiracy theory, it is pure practice.”
The Hungarian Prime Minister remarked that liberal ideology faced a significant setback following Trump’s victory in the US. “The Trump tornado has changed the world in just a couple of weeks. An era has ended,” he expressed. This sentiment was mirrored by Le Pen, who called for a “renaissance of Europe,” which she argued could be achieved through dialogue among various right-wing factions.
Over the past decade, right-wing parties across the EU have witnessed a surge in popularity, largely due to public frustration with increasing immigration, particularly from Africa and the Middle East, as well as economic uncertainty.
