This weekend, Madrid became the epicenter of European conservative politics with the Patriots for Europe summit.
The event, organized by Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox, brought together key figures from the global conservative movement, including Viktor Orbán, Matteo Salvini, and María Corina Machado.
The summit served as a platform to strengthen the fight against globalism and Brussels’ hegemony, as well as to coordinate strategies in defense of national sovereignty and border security.
As the summit’s host, Santiago Abascal plays a key role in articulating this patriotic coalition. His leadership has been crucial in expanding the Patriots for Europe group, achieving growing influence in decision-making within the European Parliament.
His speech was firm against globalism, and his call to strengthen European identity has resonated with millions of citizens seeking real change in the political direction of the EU.
The Vox leader’s speech focused on illegal immigration and the security challenges Europe faces.
He also expressed strong support for conservative leaders such as Argentinian President Javier Milei and former U.S. President Donald Trump, while fiercely criticizing the policies of the European Union, which he described as detrimental to national sovereignty.
«We have never faced such relentless censorship as we do now. They don’t want Europeans to hear our message. They don’t want people suffering from insecurity and financial ruin to be able to protest on social media. They do not want to allow freedom of speech because they want us to be silent, ruined, submissive, and vulnerable.»

Abascal denounced growing censorship in Europe, claiming that globalist elites seek to silence those who expose insecurity and economic decline. «We have never faced censorship as fierce as we do now,» he stated, arguing that the goal is to prevent citizens from expressing their grievances on social media.
He also blamed socialist policies and elite funding for promoting ideologies aimed at destroying patriotism and national borders.
With a resounding «Enough is enough!» the Vox leader rejected the policies that weaken nations and foster corruption.
In this regard, he praised Trump’s leadership, emphasizing that it is not about seeking a foreign savior but recognizing an ally in the fight for freedom and common sense.
In a direct message to Pedro Sánchez, Abascal pointed out that the Spanish president cannot walk freely in public because he is rejected by the citizens, unlike leaders like Viktor Orbán, who is well-received in his country.
«Pedro Sánchez cannot go to any market, any street, any neighborhood because Spaniards despise him and are fed up with his betrayal and corruption. The president cannot step outside of closed events and security cordons.»
The summit gathered prominent figures of European conservatism, including Orbán, Marine Le Pen, and Matteo Salvini, alongside senior Vox leaders. Held at the Marriott Auditorium Hotel in Madrid, the event aimed to define strategies to consolidate an alternative to the dominance of socialists and centrists in Brussels.
María Corina Machado: A Call to the International Community.
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado called for international support, stating that Venezuela’s struggle is part of a global fight for freedom.
According to Machado, the battles being fought in Europe and Venezuela share the same values and face the same enemies.
«Societies are finally understanding the importance of freedom, security, and prosperity.»

She warned that the enemies of freedom are more organized than ever, operating in coordination and protecting one another.
She also warned that Venezuela today represents the greatest threat to the Western Hemisphere, describing it as a hub for organized crime and a safe haven for those who undermine democracy.
Machado also denounced that Nicolás Maduro’s regime has promoted mass migration as a deliberate strategy to weaken society and break Venezuelan families apart.
Matteo Salvini: Criticism of the European Union.
Italian Deputy Prime Minister and leader of The League, Matteo Salvini, attacked the EU’s common policy, stating that:
«Europe is not the cage they built in Brussels.»

Salvini insisted that the EU does not have the power to legitimize nation-states, but rather, it is nation-states that legitimize the EU. «Without them, the European Union wouldn’t even exist,» he emphasized.
He argued that Europe is experiencing a deep crisis and that only the Patriots for Europe alliance has the vision and courage needed to bring about real change.
He also predicted that 2025 will mark a turning point, calling it «the year of the reconquest,» where Patriots will prove they are ready to govern with a clear and structured plan.
Viktor Orbán: «We Are the Future».
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán declared that nationalist conservatives are not the past, but rather the future of Europe. Referring to Donald Trump, he claimed that the «Trump tornado» has changed the world in just a few weeks, ending an era of political stagnation.
«They called us heretics, they said we were the past, but today, the whole world sees that we are the future.»
