Everything is happening so fast that, as a journalist, I sometimes find it hard to pause and analyze the facts. It is said that Trump’s collaborators are exhausted by their extremely heavy workload, but on the other side of the Atlantic, the president’s friends aren’t exactly holding back either in their eagerness for the advent of a new era of freedom and common sense.
Last weekend, the third force in the European Parliament, the Patriots party, held its summit in Madrid, with the presence of its main leaders: Martin Helme (Estonia), Afroditi Latinopoulou (Greece), Petr Macinka (Czech Republic), Krzysztof Bosak (Poland), Geert Wilders (Netherlands), Matteo Salvini (Italy), Marine Le Pen (France), Viktor Orbán (Hungary), and Santiago Abascal (Spain and president of Patriots).
Although with different ideological nuances, these leaders share three fundamental ideas: the need to recover national sovereignty in the face of EU interference, the fight against illegal immigration, and the war on woke policies. Exactly the same ones they share with Trump, whom they look up to and admire as a role model when it comes to turning wokeism inside out like a sock, containing the immigration emergency, and slimming the state’s tallowy ass.
The European Parliament is the closest thing to a poultry farm you can imagine. It’s full of an infinity of chickens all alike, photocopies of the idiot Macron, even if they belong to different parties. Then there is an important collection of lunatics, let’s say headless chickens, each with a different obsession, be it Marxist nostalgia or the desire for us all to ride down freeways on scooters. And finally there is a group — thank God it’s growing — of patriots (hence the name of the party) with firm convictions that they are unafraid to express. Both the photocopied chickens and the headless chickens live with a single purpose: that Patriots never come to power. They are capable of entangling, mixing, mingling, and even immolating themselves — and all of Europe — if that will keep Patriots from deciding things.
It makes sense. The garbage migration policies that have managed to turn European capitals into a branch of Africa, or failing that, into a container of alleged refugees of Arab origin, come from that “center-right.” First to screw things up was Angela Merkel, and now it’s the ostrich-faced Ursula von der Leyen, with enthusiastic support from the Socialists, who always support anything that dilutes the Christian origins of Europe.
The European Parliament is led by von der Leyen’s European People’s Party, followed by the Socialists and Democrats group, and the sovereignist Patriots bloc. Although the European People’s Party defines itself as a center-right party, as the Socialists have slipped to the far-Left, the European People’s Party has settled into a limbo between Christian Democracy (which might as well do away with “Christian”) and Social Democracy (which might as well do away with “democracy”), voting along with the Left for the green and woke policies that are ruining Europe.
The Madrid event, which opened with a dinner and speech by Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation, carried a slogan inspired by Trump’s campaigns: “Make Europe great again.” There, Santiago Abascal, host and leader of Vox in Spain, said: “We are witnessing great changes in the world that give us great hope, and lately there has been much talk about some of these changes, but I think many of you have been pioneers in your nations, you have been ahead of the changes that are being experienced on the other side of the Atlantic.”
And it is true. The wave of hope that Trump’s victory has brought to the West is indescribably important, but things had already begun to change before the Nov. 5 election. In Europe, the new Right (in any mainstream media they will tell you that it is extreme-ultra-super-extremist-Right) has been gaining positions and even taking power, the cases of Orbán in Hungary and Le Pen in France being the best known, as well as Giorgia Meloni in Italy, although the latter remains in the European People’s Party, promoting, for now unsuccessfully, an alliance between this group and the Patriots.
Let us hope that the patriotic wave of common sense sweeps away everything and restores to Europe the light that once shone from it. And may the equidistant, small-mouthed conservatives decide whether they want to join the wave, or continue strolling resignedly through Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Marseilles, Luxembourg, Milan, or Frankfurt like people crossing the densest and most fervent streets of Tehran.
A patriotic Europe, not a self-conscious one, free of woke madness will be a far better ally for Trump’s America than any of the airheaded leaders we are enduring now, from the apprentice dictator Pedro Sánchez in Spain, to the suspect of all things bad Emmanuel Macron, let alone the lemon-biting Olaf Scholz.
