Abascal thanked Viktor Orbán for protecting Europe
The leader of VOX, together with other politicians of the European right, has publicly thanked the Hungarian Prime Minister for his decisions in the European Union.
In this regard, Abascal also questioned what he described as attempts by progressive sectors to influence the electoral processes of different European countries.
As he argued, these initiatives seek to “condition the sovereign decisions of citizens” through institutional reforms that would
not reflect social majorities.The event in Budapest evidenced the consolidation of a network of alliances between right-wing leaders in Europe, with the objective of coordinating positions in the face of common challenges such as migration, regional integration and the economic direction of the bloc.
In this framework, the figure of Orbán emerges as one of the main exponents of an approach that proposes to review certain predominant policies in the European Union, especially with regard to migration and governance that have been controlled by the left in recent years.
At a political event held in Budapest, Spanish leader Santiago Abascal publicly thanked Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for his use of the veto within the European Union to curb initiatives linked to illegal immigration from Africa and the Middle East.
The meeting was attended by other important figures from the European right, including Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders and Matteo Salvini. During the event, explicit support was expressed for Orbán's leadership ahead of the next elections in Hungary, scheduled for April 12
.The leaders present expressed their support for the Hungarian Prime Minister, whom they consider to be a benchmark for secure borders and national sovereignty.
Abascal defined him as “a true protector of Europe”, highlighting his position in the face of external pressures and his defense of what he described as the interests of
the Hungarian people.In recent years, Orbán has become a figure vindicated by the European right thanks to his strong opposition to irregular immigration and for prioritizing national policies.
