Far-right European leaders gathered at a rally by Italy’s far-right League party in Pontida, attended by Matteo Salvini, Viktor Orbán, Geert Wilders, and others. Salvini is facing legal trouble over his anti-immigration stance, with prosecutors seeking a six-year prison sentence. At the rally, Salvini called for revoking citizenship for immigrants who commit crimes and defended his stance on migration.
Orbán praised Salvini for defending Europe and threatened to bring illegal immigrants to Brussels if the EU does not act. Far-right leaders from France, the Netherlands, and Portugal also expressed support for Salvini, describing him as being “persecuted” for his beliefs. They praised his efforts to protect borders and called for more leaders like him in Europe.
The rally saw speakers denounce left-wing demonstrators and call for a stronger stance against Islamic extremism. Wilders expressed unwavering support for Salvini, calling him a hero in the fight against illegal immigration. The event culminated in a call to “occupy” Brussels and take power away from bureaucrats for the benefit of European citizens.
The gathering in Pontida showcased a united front among far-right leaders in Europe, standing in solidarity with Salvini and supporting his hardline stance on immigration. The event highlighted the growing influence and collaboration among far-right parties across the continent in their efforts to protect borders and preserve national identity.
