  • Viktor Orban brought forward the slogan MEGA, Make Europe Great Again, challenging the very Europe he despises.
  • Donald Trump's comeback marked an impact on the Patriotes' sommet, third group in the European Parliament.
  • The triumphant atmosphere denotes influence from far-right political forces from abroad.
  • The public meeting marked a point of hope for 'reconquest' in Europe among national-populist leaders.
  • There were common themes, including the rejection of immigration, anti-Islamic discourse, opposition to environmental norms, and the Green Deal.
  • Despite this, there were discrepancies and important topics not discussed, such as support for Ukraine, Trump's tariffs on Europe, and the increase in European defense spending.

Conclusion: The 'MEGA summit' revealed ambiguities in its leaders over controversial policies as they focus on Trump's associations. This evidences unease in radical policies associated.
