Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France’s Marine Le Pen headlined a rally in Madrid on Saturday by Europe’s biggest far-right bloc, buoyed by Donald Trump’s return to power and calling for “a 180-degree pivot”.
Patriots for Europe has realigned extreme-right forces in the European Union. It became the European Parliament’s third-largest force after Orban helped launch it last year to pull the bloc towards the far right.
“Yesterday we were the heretics. Today we are the mainstream… We are the future,” proclaimed Orban, sharing the stage with other leading extreme-right nationalists including Dutch anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and former Czech premier Andrej Babis.
Europe is already great.
These guys are making it not great.
It’s super simple.
Europe is already great
That REALLY depends on who you ask
People who are manipulated into only focusing on immigrants and how unfair the government is.
Was thinking more about the African countries that are still the victims of Eurpean economic colonialism
While it’s true, this argument should not being used to defend people who don’t even consider Africa people as “real” human.
In fact, it’s probably the same people (few generations earlier but with the same mindset) who jumped on boat to create the slave routes, kill people for lands and ressources… You know the people that don’t consider we are all the same.
It’s not defending conservatives. It’s pointing out that European exceptionally comes at the detriment of others which creates many negative opinions of the continent as a whole.
You don’t get to claim Europe is already great when their entire way of life is propped on colonization and exploitation on the global south. Whether or not it’s only conservatives that don’t see them as ppl is debatable considering liberal and conservative alike have exploited African for centuries and actually never stopped.
