00:00A star-studded cast of Europe's far-right took centre stage in Madrid,
00:04all rallied behind an original slogan.
00:07Do you want to make Europe great again?
00:10The summit reunited right-wing European leaders,
00:13emboldened by Donald Trump's chaotic first weeks in office.
00:18Trump's tornado has changed the world in only two weeks.
00:21Yesterday we were the heretics, today everyone sees we are the future.
00:26The newly elected leader of the European Patriots Party, Santiago Abascal,
00:31hosted the summit in a show of force.
00:33The party outlined their strategy to defend national sovereignty,
00:36the defence of liberty and European identity.
00:40They also pledged to reject mass immigration.
00:42The European Patriots currently hold 86 of the European Parliament's 720 seats.
00:50Every election that comes to Europe must fall one after the other,
00:53like dominoes, as if the political game were lining up in a relentless movement.
00:59Despite many promising not to be vassals of the newly elected American president,
01:03the summit was held in Donald Trump's shadow.
01:09It's time to question realities like the International Criminal Court
01:13that equate the Islamic terrorists of Hamas
01:16with a democratically elected premier like Bibi Netanyahu.
01:19The figureheads of the Patriots swore to have found a brother in arms,
01:26ignoring Trump's threats of widespread tariffs and the possible annexation of Greenland,
01:31which risks to become embarrassing in the future for Europe's nationalist parties.
