Summary

Europe’s far-right leaders are rallying behind Trump’s influence, adopting “Make Europe Great Again” (MEGA) as their slogan at a Madrid summit.

Hosted by Spain’s Vox party, the event united figures like Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orbán, and Matteo Salvini around opposition to immigration, environmental policies, and “woke-ism.”

However, divisions emerged over Ukraine aid and alliances with Germany’s AfD.

While embracing Trump’s victory, they avoided discussing his tariffs on Europe or defense spending demands.
