Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France’s Marine Le Pen headlined a rally in Madrid on Saturday by Europe’s biggest far-right bloc, buoyed by Donald Trump’s return to power and calling for “a 180-degree pivot”.
Patriots for Europe has realigned extreme-right forces in the European Union. It became the European Parliament’s third-largest force after Orban helped launch it last year to pull the bloc towards the far right.
“Yesterday we were the heretics. Today we are the mainstream… We are the future,” proclaimed Orban, sharing the stage with other leading extreme-right nationalists including Dutch anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and former Czech premier Andrej Babis.
I don’t know about other countries’ far-rights, but the father of Marine Le Pen was openly racist and said that gaz chambers never existed (he lost a trial about hatred incitement for saying this). He was also proud to have killed algerians during the war. She’s more sweet in front of cameras compared to him, but she’s the same as he. This party was created by old SS, so I don’t think there’s something more to add. There’s no before for them, it’s pure fantasm. They just want control and order.
This doesn’t invalidate your point whatsoever, obviously, but what Le Pen exactly said is “Les chambres à gaz sont un point de détail de l’histoire de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale”, which basically means that they do existed, but wasn’t that big of a deal. Which in a way is actually even more insulting.
You’re right, I mixed it up!
Oh Czech’s Babiš was in STB (then sort of secret service) and his job was to indict anti state people. His name is in official documents and he lost a trial about being there in Slovakia, so it is 100% confirmed. He was a piece of scum them, he is a piece of scum now. Not talking about all the other shit he did - like being one of the most wealthy people in Czechia and taking European donations for overpriced projects.
