Orban, Le Pen hail Trump at far-right 'Patriots' summit in Madrid

Summary

Far-right leaders, including Viktor Orbán and Marine Le Pen, gathered in Madrid for the first summit of the "Patriots for Europe" bloc, praising Donald Trump’s return.

Hosted by Spain’s far-right Vox party, the event focused on anti-immigration rhetoric and opposition to left-wing policies.
