Le Pen and Landbauer combine forces against Brussels madness

At the Lega's two -day party congress in Florence, Marine Le Pen, the leading figure of the French party, set a clear message by video. She emphasized that she wanted to use all legal means to support her presidential election campaign. Le Pen, which was recently sentenced to four years in prison for embezzlement of EU funds, of which two years on probation and two years with electronic ankle bondage, expressed concern about the threats, not only in France, but also in Portugal. These statements reflect a growing concern that civil rights in Europe come under pressure, and it announced that the struggle for these rights should be conducted in civilized and democratic way. According to OE24 Several representatives of European right-wing parties took part in the party congress, where Matteo Salvini as party leader is also to be confirmed.

Udo Landbauer, deputy FPÖ federal party chairman, chose clear words to criticize the EU. He described it as a system that wanted to wipe identities and spoke of a "Brussels madness" that leads Europe into the abyss. In the context of the growing popularity of right-wing populist parties in Europe, which gain influence in many countries, the LEGA is regarded as part of a stable center-right coalition that has been under the leadership of Giorgia Meloni since September 2022. Meloni, who also maintains close relationships with prominent personalities such as Donald Trump and Elon Musk, is currently trying to enforce a constitutional reform that would enable direct elections to the Prime Minister. This is regarded by observers as part of a larger trend in which right -wing and populist parties establish themselves as a serious political force.

growing influence of the right in Europe

Developments in Italy reflect a wider trend that can be observed in several European countries. The FPÖ under Herbert Kickl achieved 28.85% in the National Council election in Austria in Austria and thus became the strongest force. The talks about a coalition with the ÖVP and SPÖ have failed, and Kickl has now been commissioned to form a new government. In Germany, the AfD has also achieved success at various levels and demonstrated its popularity in strongholds such as Brandenburg, Saxony and Thuringia with around 30% of the votes. Forecasts for the Bundestag election 2025 also indicate a share of 20%.

In France, the breed emblem has cut off nationally in the past elections less than expected, but Le Pen remains a central figure in public discussion, especially in migration policy issues. The political framework in Europe changes, and while populist and right -wing extremists gain more influence, the established parties are faced with the challenge of rethinking their positions and strategies.

The results of the 2024 are underlined this change: Conservative and right-wing extremists have made massive profits, while the tensions between the different right parties, such as between RN and AfD, increase due to divergent views during the Nazi era. A trend that has been shown by the normalization of right-wing populist ideologies in recent years could continue to have a lasting impact on political discourses in democratic societies, such as Deutschlandfunk
