Leaders of international far-right formations and governments endorsed Republican Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections this Wednesday and identified with his postulates.
From Argentina to Brazil, from Italy to Hungary, ultranationalist and populist leaders declared victory alongside the US Republican candidate against Democrat Kamala Harris.
Milei asks Trump to make America great
The president of Argentina, the ultra-liberal Javier Milei, congratulated Trump on his success in the elections and added that “he can count on Argentina to carry out its task.”
In a message through his X profile and in English, Milei asked Trump to “Make America Great Again. You know you can count on Argentina to carry out your task. Success and blessings.”
A firm ally of the American Republican is former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who was very expressive on the X network: “Thank you, my God” and quoted a psalm from the Bible: “Crying may last a night, but joy comes to the tomorrow”.
In a long subsequent message, the former president emphasizes that with Trump’s victory “we are witnessing the resurgence of a true warrior. A man who, even after facing a brutal electoral process in 2020 and unjustifiable judicial persecution, has risen again, like few in history have achieved.”
Satisfaction of the European extreme right
One of Trump’s main followers in Europe is the Prime Minister of Hungary, the ultranationalist Viktor Orbán, who welcomed the electoral victory of the American Republican, with whom he says he has “big plans.”
Orbán was the only head of government of the European Union to support Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and both leaders, who mutually express their admiration for each other, met for the last time on July 11.
The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, congratulated Trump on Wednesday for his victory in the presidential elections and was convinced that “the “strategic bond” between both countries will now be further strengthened, based on “an unbreakable alliance, values common interests and a historic friendship”.
For his part, his vice president Matteo Salvini was euphoric about what he considered “a historic day” and summarized Trump’s ideology in: “Illegal immigration and lower taxes, defense of Christian roots and return to peace, protection of freedom of thought and not political trials.
In the Netherlands, a coalition of right-wing and far-right parties governs and its Prime Minister, Dick Schoof, congratulated the Republican leader this Wednesday, to whom he extended his hand for “cooperation in shared interests” between both countries.
For his part, Geert Wilders, leader of the radical right PVV party – the main coalition partner – also sent a congratulatory message to Trump: “Congratulations, America. Never stop, always keep fighting!
In Spain, the president of the far-right Vox party, Santiago Abascal, congratulated Trump on his victory and highlighted the importance of the Hispanic vote in this “victory of the free world.”
“It is the time for patriots” and “freedom,” said the leader of the third parliamentary force in Spain.
Nationalist Modi congratulates his “friend” Trump
The Prime Minister of India, the nationalist Narendra Modi, congratulated his “friend” Donald Trump and said he hoped that India and the US would work for “well-being and to promote global peace, stability and prosperity.”
Modi and Trump enjoyed a good relationship during the time they coincided as leaders of India and the United States, respectively, during the American magnate’s first term, between 2017 and 2021.
And outside of politics, the reaction of tycoon Elon Musk, who has expressly supported Trump in the campaign and was excited on his social network, X, drew attention.
“The future will be fantastic,” reads one of the messages from the owner of SpaceX along with an image of the company’s Starship rocket taking off from a launch tower. EFE
