Right political prominence meets in Italy: Svazek solidarized with Salvini!

Pontida, Italien - In autumn 2024, a meeting of European rights in Pontida, Italy, caused a sensation when FPÖ vice-head Marlene Svazek performed together with prominent politicians such as Viktor Orbán and Geert Wilders. This meeting, in which the participants emphasized their joint commitment to a "cultural identity in Europe", was equally a showdown between migration and national security, especially with regard to the controversial policy of the Italian Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini. Salvini, who was in the headlines because of his role in blocking a ship with rescued migrants, attracted attention again and received support from Svazek. This explained that the state of Salzburg was not financially involved in the meeting, but was in its function as representation of the FPÖ party chairman Herbert Kickl in Italy, as reported.

At the slogan-sound event, where several thousand Lega supporters were gathered, Svazek said: "We do not want a Europe to do without its identity in the name of alleged progress". These words were directed directly against the current political currents within the EU that propagate migration and Integration. Furthermore, she emphasized that Salvini had shown valuable commitment to the national borders, which, according to her view, defends the true Europe of culture and traditions. Salvini was sure to support the support of numerous Lega fans who occurred with slogans such as "Hands away from Salvini, the defense of the national borders is not a crime," adds Kleinezeitung.at Add.

political tensions and reactions

SVAZEKS Instagram entry, in which she represents her meeting with Salvini as a "real right" event, also caused excitement. Her statements about the need for visions for Europe and the supposed political persecution of Salvini were not only celebrated by their followers, but also questioned by critics. The pressure on the FPÖ and the political views of Svazek will increase because the Greens in the Salzburg state parliament examine the effects of such appearances on the international reputation of Salzburg. Governor Haslauer was forced to emphasize that his attitude towards the rule of law and extreme positions was well known from the public.
