On Saturday, far-right leaders convened at a rally in Madrid, organized by the Patriots for Europe party, which is the third-largest political faction in the European Parliament with eighty-six seats.

The gathering took place at the Madrid Airport Marriott Conference Center shortly after Donald Trump's reelection and represented the party's first rally since last summer’s EU elections.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán remarked, "Our friend Trump, the Trump tornado, has transformed the world in just a few weeks. An era has concluded. Today, everyone recognizes that we embody the future." French leader Marine Le Pen characterized the present moment as a "global tipping point," while Dutch leader Geert Wilders advocated for stricter measures against illegal immigration and criticized Brussels' migration strategies.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and Czech leader Andrej Babiš also addressed EU policies, with Babiš claiming that initiatives such as the Green Deal are causing economic difficulties.

The rally featured debates on eliminating green policies, opposing immigration, and rejecting gender and family diversity, explicitly linking these issues to Spain's historical Reconquista.

Participants, which included political figures, government officials, business leaders, and cultural representatives, also held private meetings on Friday and attended a gala dinner with Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, a U.S.-based conservative think tank.

The event highlighted the far-right’s intentions to transform European governance by contesting the prevailing socialist, liberal, and center-right influences in Brussels.
