Vox Hosts Far-Right Summit in Madrid

Published: 2025-02-08

Madrid has become the epicenter of European far-right politics as Vox hosted a major summit of the Patriots for Europe (PfE) group.

The event, led by Santiago Abascal, aimed to strengthen international alliances and boost Vox's influence.

Key figures like Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini, and Geert Wilders attended, showcasing a united front of nationalist leaders.

The summit also highlighted Vox's break from Giorgia Meloni's ECR group and its ambition to rival traditional right-wing parties in Spain.

A viral video of Orbán at Madrid's Mercado de San Miguel added a lighter moment to the otherwise serious gathering.

The event underscores the growing prominence of far-right movements across Europe.
