Marine Le Pen, a prominent French far-right leader, recently hosted key European allies, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, to emphasize the unity and strength of the anti-immigration movement in European politics. The meeting took place in Mormant-sur-Vernisson, south of Paris.
The gathering ostensibly marked the anniversary of Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) achieving its best-ever vote share in European elections. However, it also served as a show of force for political factions emboldened by Donald Trump’s return to the White House and recent strong election results across Europe. The leaders aim to promote a different Europe.
Attendees included Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, Spain’s Vox party leader Santiago Abascal, and former Czech premier Andrej Babis. These figures belong to the Patriots for Europe faction within the European Parliament.
“The winds of change are gathering,” Orban posted on X, noting a prior meeting in the Chateau of Fontainebleau to align their positions.
The meeting precedes France’s upcoming presidential elections. With President Emmanuel Macron term-limited, the RN sees an possibility to gain power. However, Le Pen’s eligibility remains uncertain due to a conviction in a fake jobs scandal, which she is appealing. Jordan Bardella, Le Pen’s protege, is poised to run if she is disqualified. The far-right unity is seen as crucial for these upcoming elections.
Orban, when asked if he hoped Le Pen would be elected, referenced his vow to drink champagne upon Trump’s election: “Oh yes, I think it would be a magnum, more, more, more champagne that I could drink!”
Bardella highlighted the meeting’s purpose: a “Europe of Nations, of peoples, of freedoms, of protections, of identities, of production and innovation, of farmers and entrepreneurs!”
Salvini added they are “working for a Europe different from the current one, of the people and not of bureaucrats, a freind and not an enemy of businesses, which does not invest in weapons but is committed to peace.”
What’s next
The French 2027 presidential election remains uncertain, with edouard philippe being the only major candidate to declare his intention to run. the far-right unity displayed at this meeting could significantly influence the political landscape.
