Long live free vote of Hungarians, worth more than Soros's billions and Zelensky's threats! - Italy's Deputy PM backs Orban in April elex

"Italy's Matteo Salvini expressed support for Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the first Patriots' Grand Assembly in Budapest on Monday, calling on voters to back Hungary's path ahead of the April 12 election. "Dear Viktor, let me say something personal, from patriot to patriot. Your rooted courage is an authentic, born from a great certainty: that of always and only putting the needs of your people at the centre," Salvini said. "Long live the free vote of the Hungarian people, which is worth more than Soros's billions and Zelensky's threats," he added. The assembly drew nationalist and conservative figures from across Europe, including Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders, in what organisers described as a push against EU centralisation. The event coincided with a CPAC‑style conference in Budapest and came just weeks before Hungary’s general election. Salvini, leader of Italy's right‑wing League party, praised Orban for his 'absolute loyalty to his people' against the EU's 'warmongering drift'. "I offer you my personal commitment and that of the entire League in Europe. We will fight every day so that this principle becomes a concrete reality. We will fight democratically to ensure that all sovereign nations are listened to with true respect," Salvini continued. The Patriots for Europe grouping, formed after the 2024 European Parliament elections, unites nationalist parties that oppose deeper EU integration and advocate greater control for member states. The alliance is now one of the largest non‑mainstream blocs in the European Parliament."
