The appointment of Santiago Abascal as president of Patriotas por Europa, the formation of the new European group that emerged after the division in Brussels of the traditional far-right families, will serve the leader of Vox to try to reinforce his leadership and gain momentum in the face of the new political scene that opens around the world after the victory in the United States of the Republican Donald Trump, one of the idols of the European and Latin American extreme right, along with the Argentine Javier Milei.
The leaders of Patriotas, whose main figures are the Hungarian Viktor Orbán and the French Marine Le Pen, have already warned that they want to become “fundamental political actors on the European stage”, to “face the challenge of consolidating an alternative majority to the traditional coalition between socialists and popular ones” in the European Parliament. And Abascal, although he does not have a seat in Brussels, has proposed to champion these challenges in his new position as president of the party. On the same day of his appointment he committed to “promote a frontal and total response to globalismand may the Europe of the homelands be great, prosperous, safe and free again”, following in the wake of Donald Trump and his promise to make “America great again” that has brought him back to the White House.
