Several leaders have urged Europe to fight against lenient migration policies, as well as globalist and woke policies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right-wing leaders from across Europe have called for a new \u201cReconquista\u201d<\/em> to defend the continent\u2019s traditional values and cultural identity while criticizing the EU\u2019s migration policies.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Patriots for Europe group, the third-largest political bloc in the EU parliament, gathered in Madrid for its first high-profile rally since the summer elections. Attendees included Santiago Abascal, the leader of Spain\u2019s conservative Vox party; Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban; Marine Le Pen of France\u2019s National Rally party; and other high-profile conservative and right-wing leaders.<\/p>\n

The event was held under the slogan \u201cMake Europe Great Again,\u201d<\/em> an explicit nod to US President Donald Trump\u2019s campaign motto. The conference centered on the theme of battling Islam, EU bureaucracy, globalism and left-wing \u201cwoke policies\u201d<\/em> and diversity.<\/p>\n

The term \u201cReconquista\u201d<\/em> echoed throughout the event, with Abascal comparing today\u2019s political struggles to the centuries-long campaign by Christian kingdoms to free the territory of modern Spain from Muslim rule in the Middle Ages.

\u201cWe Spaniards are proud to be known for that extraordinary feat of our ancestors. We are ready to be that again,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Abascal noted. \u201cWe are ready to be that wall of Europe once again in the face of Islamist advance,\u201d<\/em> he said, vowing to fight against \u201cglobal dictatorship,\u201d<\/em> including the one imposed from Brussels.<\/p>\n

The idea of Reconquista was also mentioned by Martin Helme, the leader of Estonia\u2019s Conservative People\u2019s Party. \u201cFor Europe to be great again, we need to have a new Reconquista,\u201d<\/em> he said while accusing globalist elites of trying to \u201cdamage our Christian civilization and replace it with their sick satanic utopia.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Orban, a consistent opponent of the EU\u2019s lenient approach to migration, also weighed in, suggesting that \u201cthe replacement of the population of Europe is not a conspiracy theory, it is pure practice.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Hungarian leader also said that liberal ideology had suffered a major defeat due to Trump\u2019s victory in the US. \u201cThe Trump tornado, has changed the world in just a couple of weeks. An era has ended,\u201d<\/em> he said. The sentiment was echoed by Le Pen, who also called for \u201crenaissance of Europe\u201d<\/em> which she said could be achieved by establishing dialogue among different right-wing forces.<\/p>\n

Right-wing parties across the EU have grown in popularity over the past decade, with their electoral gains fueled by public discontent over rising immigration, especially from Africa and the Middle East, as well as economic instability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
