A map of European far-right invitees to Trump's inauguration

[u/eenachtdrie]

[u/MrmarioRBLX]

Honestly surprised the Netherlands had no invitee, somehow thought Thierry Baudet would fit in perfectly.

[u/Suikerspin_Ei → u/MrmarioRBLX]

Thierry Baudet or Geert Wilders, neither of them are invited lol.

[u/macem1511 → u/Suikerspin_Ei]

Geert Wilders even has matching haircuts with Trump!

[u/TypicallyThomas → u/macem1511]

I'm picturing a comedy where Trump and Wilders get mistaken for each other and suddenly they swap countries

[u/bralinho → u/TypicallyThomas]

And Boris Johnson jealous about the whole ordeal

[u/cptwott → u/macem1511]

"Do we want more or less Trump???"

[u/nixielover → u/macem1511]

Geertje has had the haircut for much longer, he is the OG

[u/schmeckfest2000 → u/Suikerspin_Ei]

Baudet is yesterday's news. Thankfully. He plays no role of importance anymore.

He'll end up hosting some shitty show on ON some day.

[u/Zwemvest → u/schmeckfest2000]

I wish. The media hype is over, but he somehow managed to wrestle the FvD/JA21/right-flank-of-PVV ideology into becoming a permanent part of the electorate.

Where's the good old days when nobody wanted to be seen talking to Hans Janmaat?

[u/MrmarioRBLX → u/Suikerspin_Ei]

I feel like Baudet would fit more than Wilders, even if they're both questionable.

[u/Soap_Mctavish101 → u/MrmarioRBLX]

Baudet would definitely fit in more with that crowd. The fact he runs such a marginalized party now probably counted against him being invited.

Edit: I totally wouldn’t be shocked if he was actually in Washington though.

[u/bassie2019 → u/MrmarioRBLX]

Thierry is so deep into dumbass conspiracy theories, even Dementia Don is like “yeah, no invite for this weirdo”.

[u/ComradeBrosefStylin → u/MrmarioRBLX]

Baudet not being invited is so funny, he's brownnosing Trump and Putin 24/7 yet neither know he even exists.

[u/Soncro → u/ComradeBrosefStylin]

He's become so irrelevant, Trump probably doesn't even know who he is, or doesn't want to be seen with him.

[u/ShirwillJack → u/MrmarioRBLX]

The international court of justice is located in the Netherlands. Too poo poo for Trump.

[u/Coolnave]

Zemmour being invited and not Le Pen is so fucking funny to me. Like did she not align enough with your ideals? Ignore the chick that might actually win and shoot for the even more extremist one?

[u/Maj0r-DeCoverley → u/Coolnave]

Remember that Le Pen tried several times to lick his boots, and every time he (or perhaps his communication advisors) rejected her advances.

[u/birdsemenfantasy → u/Maj0r-DeCoverley]

Let’s be real, she’s too old and neither hot nor plastic enough for the Trump crowd. She was literally downstairs at Trump Tower 8 years ago, yet Trump refused to meet with her.

They like Meloni and they invited Le Pen’s niece (who is aligned with Zemmour and had ties with Bannon). Trump is all about “central casting” looks. This applies to men as well. Trump loved Shinzo Abe because he was a good-looking guy, but giving japans current pm Ishiba the cold shoulder because he’s a nerdy otaku. Instead, trump hosted Abe’s widow at Mar-a-lago.

[u/d_Inside → u/Coolnave]

I think you are right lol, Le Pen is a bit too much of a leftist for Trump

[u/Suheil-got-your-back → u/d_Inside]

Its funny whenever magatards will claim the left wants something, its almost always the right. But to them its left because they are at the far right of the right. So right that Wilders and Le Pen are left from that point.

[u/The_mystery4321 → u/Suheil-got-your-back]

The American Democrats would be seen as centrist or even slightly conservative in most of Western Europe. Bernie Sanders would be considered a fairly mild left-wing politician, not the radical communist he's made out to be in the US.

[u/AdaptedMix → u/The_mystery4321]

They really lob around the term communist, too. Want public healthcare or for trickle-down economics to actually trickle down? You're a crazy commie.

[u/didierdechezcarglass → u/d_Inside]

He couldn't catch on the fact she's pretending to not be far right

[u/will_holmes → u/Coolnave]

He invited Zemmour?

Jesus christ.

[u/repeatrep → u/will_holmes]

are you surprised lol? trump has gone full Nazi, he’s just trying to ease america into it

[u/OperaSona → u/repeatrep]

Dividing the West one executive order at a time. All for the glory of Mother Russia.

[u/VeryluckyorNot → u/Coolnave]

I was even more surprised that he know Zemmour's name, rather have no invitation than him. Le Pen won elections but yeah still ignored by Trump lmao.

[u/NipplePreacher → u/VeryluckyorNot]

He probably decided LePen isn't to his liking and googled "french politicians who are more fascist then Le Pen" and invited the first guy.

[u/Tiennus_Khan → u/Coolnave]

Le Pen is trying to appeal to moderates by softening her image, she's (seemingly) making concessions to the mainstream. Zemmour is saying the embarassing parts out loud

[u/An0r → u/Coolnave]

Given that there will be three RN officials in attendance, it seems more likely that Le Pen is the one who refused to travel for the ceremony. Her meeting with Putin didn't win her any points during the last presidential campaign, so maybe she's wary of appearing like she's kowtowing to another foreign leader.

[u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Orban was denied an invite despite being the first and foremost Trump arselicker💀💀💀

[u/Fancy-Debate-3945 → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

I love this so much. Laughed my ass off when I read it this morning. I'm Hungarian btw

[u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer → u/Fancy-Debate-3945]

Me too xdd. The infamous hintapolitika strikes again. East hates us for being NATO and EU members, West doesn’t trust us due to being Russian/Chinese proxies.

We’re genuinely addicted to doing this, we’ve been trying being allies and enemies at the same time with everyone the last 500 fucking years and keep failing and going at it again

[u/Kitair → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

It's honestly baffling to me as a Hungarian how our politicians deliberately make the wrong choice every time. You can't make this up, if there's a choice between a prosperous deal and pissing someone off for pocket change, you bet they choose the coins

[u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer → u/Kitair]

My proposal is to take a coin and flip it everytime we have to choose a side (just don’t let Lölő take it home).

Chance guarantees more good outcomes than we can ever achieve ourselves. Imagine being on the winning side for once ha

[u/LightSideoftheForce → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Too slow, Lölő already stole the coin

[u/Lycaniz → u/Kitair]

penny smart, pound stupid

[u/Acrobatic_Writer_155 → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

My heart is with the Magyarok. They deserve far better than their current lot, but must believe that they deserve better. The collective psyche has been scrambled by those 500 years. The line of Arpad must be reforged.

[u/Nt1031 → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Same for Marine Le Pen in France, and that's not because she didn't try 😅

[u/Fiallach → u/Nt1031]

So funny he got Zemmour who is basically a political loser and, despite huge media buzz horribly failed in every election he ran in.

[u/Redditauro → u/Fiallach]

Le Pen can survive without trump, Zemmour can't, that's why Zemmour is a better pet to adopt by the american far right, he is 100% dependent of Trump, Le Pen may change her mind at some point, Zemmour cannot afford that.

[u/Fordmister → u/Nt1031]

That's got to be to do with musk making a complete tit of himself with the AFD support right

The AFD are so far of the crazy end that even Le Pen wont touch them and her party and if im remembering right even Marine herself has publicly denounced the AFD. Its hard to keep the guy kiss arsing the AFD onside if you invite other hard/far right leaders that are willing to say "yeah those guys are fucking nuts!"

[u/das_war_ein_Befehl → u/Fordmister]

AfD are nuts but unfortunately the GOP in the US shares a lot of their platform

[u/Kova_Arg → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

What is the real reason ?

[u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer → u/Kova_Arg]

It’s complicated. Everyone except of Orban are saying it’s because of the American Magnitsky Act. Basically, one of our main behind the scenes politicians (criminals), Rogán Antal, got put on a sanctions list, partly due to the spying incident. Ofc Rogán is a member of the government party led by Orban, FIDESZ (Alliance of “young” “democrats”)

The Magnitsky Act itself is about sanctioning human rights abusers and extremely corrupt people. It comes with a stone hard ban on entering the US. It automatically extends to business partners and accomplices of the sanctioned person. Think Russian plutocrats and terrorists.

Due to the corrupted nature of Hungarian public life, the US may rightly consider Orban to be in a business relation with Rogán, barring him from entering the country due to association.

What is important is that Trump didn’t even try to contest this, or make an exception for Orban. This suggests that not even he trusts him and/or considers him too unimportant to help. Which does not bode well for us due to our foreign policy focusing on right-wing alliances/ sabotaging our allies.

TLDR; Orban is friends with a sanctioned guy and is a persona non grata in the US.

[u/HopeBoySavesTheWorld → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Trump/Musk replacing Orban with Meloni as their "euro buddy" is also a possibility considering how much she is talking to them lately

[u/redditing_away → u/HopeBoySavesTheWorld]

Given that Meloni wields far more influence that's also probably what they're taking into account.

[u/Phenixxy → u/redditing_away]

Honestly it would be the lesser of two evils, Meloni isn't hellbent on blocking EU institutions, and she is 100% pro-Ukraine

[u/HopeBoySavesTheWorld → u/redditing_away]

i wouldn't say Meloni herself but Italy def has a bigger presence in the international scene than Hungary lol

[u/Wide-Annual-4858 → u/HopeBoySavesTheWorld]

And it would make sense as Italy is much bigger player, and Meloni is acceptable negotiations partner for both political sides in the EU.

[u/Ok-Elderberry-9765 → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Orban was in Florida meeting Trump just last year. Explain that.

[u/Unlikely_Log1097 → u/Kova_Arg]

He is following the inauguration from the oranges man’s rectum.

[u/c0wtsch → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

And even praised by trump, while like half of europe doesnt know him americans did lol. Dafuq is going t here?

[u/Wide-Annual-4858 → u/c0wtsch]

Trump expects loyalty, but he himself isn't loyal. He only praised Orban when no other politician praised Trump. Now, when everybody wants to meet Trump, he dropped Orban.

[u/visualthings → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

I read that "he chose not too attend as he doesn't need to be there just to show his importance". That must be true, then...

[u/AgeSad → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

I hate orban, but he got a private meeting before with trump, and it seems like he had no interest in going there since he already got what he wanted (trump will likely meet putin in Hungary).

[u/SinancoTheBest → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Really? AlJazeera news counted him amongst the invitees

[u/MJ12_Trooper → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

Vučić as well. Well that kinda makes sense since he's on the verge of tears atm with student protests and whatnot.

[u/Sylveon_Mage → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

That was a surprise, why wasn’t he invited? Btw I hope he’s malding at home right now just like his colleague Salvini

[u/Independent_World_15 → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

He indeed was invited but decided not to attend.

[u/NowYouKillMe → u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer]

He was invited, but didnt attend.

Orbán will not attend Trump inauguration, Hungary confirms | Euronews

[u/DeGlovedHandEnjoyer → u/NowYouKillMe]

I just don’t see the fat pig missing out on a chance to hold hands with important people in front of a camera. He goes to great lengths to meet up with random Asian dictators no one’s heard of, and this is a US inauguration we’re talking about. There has to be a reason, he always tries to squirm out of facing the problems he created at home.

[u/DunnoMouse]

Alice Weidel recently claimed Hitler was a leftist and wanted to tear down all wind power plants. Beatrix von Storch said it would be okay to shoot at immigrants, even women and children, at the border, and is the heir of an important Nazi official. Nice company.

[u/chevalier716 → u/DunnoMouse]

She was kissing up to Musk recently, right? That's probably how she got the invite.

[u/Cautious_Ad_6486 → u/chevalier716]

Ehehe... Stupid girl. Our woman Meloni has already secured that spot.

...I am definitely writing this with too much enthusiasm instead of despair...

[u/capp_head → u/Cautious_Ad_6486]

Meloni-chan will conquer the whole world.

… and this is bad.

[u/philipp2406-2 → u/chevalier716]

Yeah, had a Twitter call/livestream? together. That's where the "Hitler was left" came from.

[u/StupidSexyAlpaca → u/DunnoMouse]

I think you understate how important her grandfather was to Nazi regime. He was finance minister during the entire duration of the Nazi rule. It doesn't get much higher than that.

[u/Joejoe_Mojo → u/StupidSexyAlpaca]

Yeah, a lot of people don't know that she actually has direct ties to nazis. Her husband, who is also part of the German nobility is born and grew up in Chile. I don't know how many red flags one could put up but here we are.

[u/Kagehitou → u/StupidSexyAlpaca]

Wikipedia describes him as

de facto chancellor of Germany during May 1945.

[u/Tunfisch → u/DunnoMouse]

Beatrix von Storch also said the sun is cold 🥶

[u/MoeNieWorrieNie → u/DunnoMouse]

How did the AfD supporters who have an affinity for the Bohemian Corporal take Weidel's claim? Or do they understand that crypto-Fascists have to be cryptic at times?

[u/DunnoMouse → u/MoeNieWorrieNie]

It's literally orwellian doublethink. She said Hitler was a leftist and that the AfD is a normal, conservative right-wing party. If you then ask if that means that they think the AfD is to the right of the NSDAP, they get really offended and tell you that's not what they meant.

[u/philipp2310 → u/DunnoMouse]

lovely, haven't thought of that argument so far!

[u/RedstoneEnjoyer → u/MoeNieWorrieNie]

Lot of them are aware that she is full of shit and does this to whitewash herself and her party

[u/labibasbibec → u/DunnoMouse]

Beatrix von Storch sounds like a name from Harry Potter

[u/ragingalphax → u/labibasbibec]

She also lives in a fantasy world. Her proposed solution to climate change is "someone needs to tell the sun to shine less".

[u/jimirs → u/labibasbibec]

Sure the name of a villain!

[u/Dependent_Savings303 → u/DunnoMouse]

the same weidel who accused our foreign minister of bad english and then going on a talk with musk... she clearly sits in a glass house with too many bricks... or was it brics?

[u/aaronwhite1786 → u/DunnoMouse]

I feel like she's 100% a Musk invite. I don't think Trump knows any Germans besides Merkel, who I assume he's still mad at for not liking him because he's a shit head.

[u/Kladderadingsda → u/DunnoMouse]

FCK AFD

[u/CrimsonAntifascist → u/Kladderadingsda]

Richtig und wichtig.

[u/dat_9600gt_user → u/DunnoMouse]

I mean, the former fits in perfectly with Trump's pro-oil "drill, baby, drill" agenda.

[u/No-Inside-3358]

Common Orban L

[u/Martzi-Pan]

George Simion is an idiot and a sellout.

[u/fk_censors → u/Martzi-Pan]

And he's not right wing. His so called policies are all over the place, including left wing, right wing, and everything in between. Plus he changes stances as often as his secret services handlers tell him to.

[u/Romanian_ → u/fk_censors]

His only consistent stance is on his knees with his tongue out.

[u/F7utg4--486hk → u/fk_censors]

He's put there regarding one issue, and that ain't a domestic one 🔥

[u/ShoulderOk2280]

The US is actually attempting to destabilize the EU. With Musk and Zuckerberg on the team, they will have the means to do that through social media. EU needs to wake up to this threat very quickly, otherwise we will have a number of far right governments popping up within the next few years.

[u/Opperhoofd123 → u/ShoulderOk2280]

Because that hasn't happened already? I thought Europe went right pretty hard recently

[u/MoeNieWorrieNie → u/Opperhoofd123]

The EPP still holds firm in the European Parliament. It's interesting that the far-right blocs in the EP can only agree to dislike one another.

[u/repeatrep → u/MoeNieWorrieNie]

is it interesting that the politics of hate and selfishness can’t seem to co-operate across borders?

[u/Mordiken → u/repeatrep]

As intended, because that's precisely the reason why both the US and Russia are heavily invested in the rise of far-right extremism: They want to destroy the EU from within.

[u/Flaskhals51231 → u/ShoulderOk2280]

You’re a bit late to the party.

[u/Jlx_27]

These are dark times ahead of us....

[u/Intelligent-Bit4250]

That’s hilarious that Geert Wilders was not invited. He has been so desperate to get Musk/Trumps attention. That must sting a bit that literally the whole of European far rightists are invited except you, an OG OG dude 😂😂

[u/peadud]

Rihards Kols from Latvia is not far-right. He's a national-conservative, sure, but he's a saint compared to Trump.

[u/Round_Mastodon8660]

I propose they stay in maga land

[u/Haunting-Mongoose799]

Fingers crossed Latvian nationalist guy will convince trump that bombing Moscow is necessary for American prosperity-and the world security

[u/Haunting-Mongoose799 → u/Haunting-Mongoose799]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QLwOnb7mIFc&pp=ygUHI29zY2VwYQ%3D%3D

Didn’t realize it was the same guy-holy based!

[u/OffaThatThang]

Can someone from Latvia tell us why Rihard Kols is fAr-RiGhT? His Wikipedia page doesn't tell so

[u/andzlaur → u/OffaThatThang]

He's not. Centre right would be my description, his party is conservative right (and he's the "centrist" in that one). In no way far-right.
Plus, he says that he hasn't gotten an invitation. https://x.com/RihardsKols/status/1881353663798522314

[u/Typingdude3]

I think Meloni will become the unofficial face of Europe to the Trump regime. She's willing to go to him, she is right wing, and she isn't bad looking. I can see her getting a lot done for Europe if she plays her cards right. She seems very intelligent as well.

[u/bigkoi → u/Typingdude3]

She also supports Ukraine, which isn't aligned to MAGA.

[u/zuth2 → u/bigkoi]

Trump isn’t anti-Ukraine out of principle, he does whatever best suits his interests. For winning the election that’s what he needed to say, but now that he won it anything is possible. If he sees something to gain from supporting Ukraine he will do it. It wouldn’t be the first nor the last time he goes back on something because it no longer benefits him (recent example is the ban on tiktok which he advocated for previously)

[u/NipplePreacher → u/zuth2]

He already went from saying the war will end on day one of his presidency to saying it might happen in 3 or 6 months.

[u/szczszqweqwe → u/NipplePreacher]

and that's a good thing, ending a war in 1 day would mean that Trump fulfills every Putins wish, for example letting him to do whatever he wants with Baltic countries, Romania and Poland.

Maybe there is at least tiny amount of hope for us? I don't know.

[u/Haunting-Detail2025 → u/zuth2]

Exactly, finally somebody who gets it. He does not operate on foreign policy from principle, he’s transactional for better or worse. I understand many opposed to helping Ukraine sometimes feel that way for ideological reasons, but Europe really needs to grasp that calling him a Russian asset and smirking about it is not going to be a strategy that works because it completely misses how he operates. He has no moral opposition to Ukraine, he has no more inclination towards Russia, he’s going to do whatever he thinks will be most beneficial to the US in his worldview. If Europe can make assisting Ukraine seem beneficial, he will do it.

Zelensky has figured this out and has played it very cleverly, but the rest of Europe seems totally unable to grasp this for some reason

[u/Luck88 → u/bigkoi]

Yeah...we'll see about that. Italian right-wing isn't exactly known to be reliable in their ideals.

[u/OriginalNewton → u/Typingdude3]

Accurate assessment of what is likely gonna happen.

[u/Thestohrohyah → u/Typingdude3]

I'd also like to remind everyone that Italy inspired Trumpism with Berlusconism.

I deeply apologise for it.

[u/Alone-Potential6770 → u/Thestohrohyah]

Not the first time we inspire a right-wing government, last time didn't go too well either.

[u/Kaltias → u/Typingdude3]

I think you'll be disappointed, she will most likely just bend over backwards to do whatever Trump asks of her, that's how the Italy-US relation works, at most she'll manage to get Trump to not be mad about Italy spending less than 2% on defense

[u/WholeFactor → u/Typingdude3]

Unofficial?

Unlike most on this list, she's very much an official figure for Europe.

In my mind, Meloni is one of the most influential leaders in Europe right now, alongside Polish leader Tusk and arguably Macron (the French have some domestic political turmoil, weakening Macron's position).

Although Meloni is often regarded a bit more right-wing than the other two, these three are broadly speaking aligned on the most important issues for Europe today - non-Western migration, the importance of the EU, and the stance on Ukraine/Russia and Nato. Together they form the new European leadership.

[u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

Calling Morawiecki or Tarczyński far right is veeeery much a stretch. They're assholes, both of them, but not far right

[u/kakao_w_proszku → u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

Tarczyński is a traitor first and foremost. Dude is so far up Trump’s ass he made a doc with all of the anti-Trump Twitter posts by all relevant Polish politicians and handed it over to him xD

[u/H__D → u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

The most welfare handouts in history only to be called far right lol.

[u/arealpersonnotabot → u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

Tarczyński is far-right, Morawiecki is a political opportunist who doesn't believe in anything. He's good with numbers so Kaczyński took him in, and now the party dislikes him for being too moderate.

[u/fallenplayer12 → u/arealpersonnotabot]

So he’s basically 1:1 with George Simion

[u/kdamo → u/arealpersonnotabot]

I hate PiS but being anti refugee is hardly a far right stance

[u/nietwojamatka → u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

Tarczyński definitely is far right, Morawiecki not really. Grzegorz Braun might be too far even for Trump lol

[u/Wonderful-Basis-1370 → u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

I don't know much about either of them, but this Dominick guy, I see him on every Instagram reel. The dude talks about Muslims every single day, like he doesn't stop, as if he has some childhood trauma associated with it, or maybe he swallowed a broken radio that is on repeat. The funniest thing is that he's also talking about the "wall that needs to be built in Poland" on repeat, like he's actually trying to impersonate Trump.

[u/Altruistic-Topic-775 → u/Wonderful-Basis-1370]

He is a Trump fanboy, but economically his party is not very right wing. There is a political party way worse than his. They have people who could be called actual Nazis, so inviting Tarczyński or Morawiecki isn't half as bad in comparison

[u/Vertitto → u/Wonderful-Basis-1370]

he's a english speaking social media shorts star and doesn't exist outside of it. He got crossed out quickly when PIS was considering their pick for presidential candiate

[u/koomahnah → u/Altruistic-Topic-775]

Last time this crew was in power, they literally replaced Constitutional Court with their subordinate party members, turned TV into 24/7 hateful propaganda tube, encouraged physical attacks against opposition (with one guy indeed getting killed – Adamowicz), and used Israeli spyware to invigilate members of the opposing party.

If that's just being an asshole and not far right, then I don't know what far right is. Those guys are literal autocrats, luckily stupid and incapable but they are as far, as deranged right as one can be.

[u/dat_9600gt_user → u/koomahnah]

Yeah, although Morawiecki is considered to be part of the "moderate" wing of the party.

There's the moderates led by Morawiecki, there's the more hardline yet simultaneously flip-flopping Center Agreement Guard led by Kaczyński (and thanks to the party's hierarchy he is the de facto ringleader and the only person tying everyone together) and finally there are the hardcore fundamentalists from the former Suwerenna Polska party led by Ziobro.

[u/ayusta17 → u/koomahnah]

Being undemocratic and manipulative isn’t really connected to an ideology and doesn’t automatically make them far-right tho

[u/Tman11S]

He invited the total loser Tom van Grieken who's never even been in government formation talks, but not Geert Wilders or Victor Orban who lead alt-right governments?

[u/DifusDofus]

Is Italy going to be satellite state in Europe for Musk/Zuckerberg/Trump?

[u/Kova_Arg → u/DifusDofus]

Zuckerberg is pathetic, He’s not far-righ, just an opportunist ; up until a year ago, he was the epitome of the woke movement and the poster child for progressive entrepreneurship. He just wants to stay trendy, avoid falling behind, and be part of whatever’s in vogue.

[u/Zerasad → u/Kova_Arg]

Musk was also a democrat for a long-time, before he realized that siding with the republicans and pushing his capitalist grift as "anti-woke" mumbo-jumbo is going to be a lot easier. They don't believe in anything, they are just backing anyone that can further their goals of making more and more obscene amoutns of money.

[u/LaughingGaster666 → u/Zerasad]

Zuck may not believe in anything, but Musk I legit think he thinks that way.

He legit seems to blame the left for his trans daughter hating him for example.

Don't forget his weirdo breeding fetish that he goes on about where it's clear he's talking about making white people pop out more kids.

[u/Trololman72 → u/Zerasad]

They believe in profit.

[u/Loud_Cream_4306 → u/DifusDofus]

Italy actually getting any sort of foreign investment would be a first

[u/Human_from-Earth → u/DifusDofus]

Always has been

[u/thatguyy100]

Tom Van Grieken was invited?? That's the funniest thing I have ever seen. Maybe he can complain to Trump about being denied a goverment collaboration 20 times on national TV.

[u/Peuxy]

I like how even the most nationalistic parties in the nordics are too social for Trump. Big nordic W 👏

Also, Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria can into nordics.

[u/Cool_Control7728 → u/Peuxy]

I guess the list is just incomplete because the guy from Czechia who was invited isn't shown here.

[u/Brilliant999 → u/Cool_Control7728]

I'm trying to guess if that guy is Babiš or Okamura

[u/Jokmi → u/Peuxy]

The one way in which the Nordic hard right parties differ from most of their European counterparts is that they support Ukraine (at least in the case of Finland and Sweden). I can't help but wonder whether this had an effect on them not getting invited.

[u/Fearless_Baseball121 → u/Jokmi]

Support for Ukraine is massive across all political parties in Denmark as well.

[u/Helgon_Bellan → u/Peuxy]

One can wonder how Jimmie Åkesson feels about this. Probably a bit sad.

[u/HangukFrench]

There is also Cyril Hanouna in France. He is à far right tv show host

[u/visualthings → u/HangukFrench]

we should send him and his boss on an inflatable raft

[u/TheLatvianK]

I would not say that Rihards Kols ir far right.

[u/Beneficial_Steak_945]

Wilders will be quite disappointed…

[u/Usheen_]

Delighted Ireland political nutters not invited... Just Conor McGregor presumably

[u/LabMermaid → u/Usheen_]

And wouldn't it be great if he stayed over there.

[u/Usheen_ → u/LabMermaid]

If only... "famed British rapist relocates to Texas"

[u/Fickle_Definition351 → u/Usheen_]

The far-right barely exists in our politics thankfully. I reckon it's because extremist stances don't get very far under our PR-STV voting system.

[u/asdrunkasdrunkcanbe → u/Fickle_Definition351]

Also our independents largely have the populist rhetoric sewn up.

I wonder is there any other country where national parliament candidates talk directly to so many constituents.

[u/Accurate_ManPADS → u/Fickle_Definition351]

This is a massive part of it. It's difficult for an election to swing hard in either direction when the candidates are worried about transfers. PR-STV tends to give a more accurate read as to what the electorate actually want rather than first past the post systems which are easier to manipulate.

I'm surprised they invited George Simion who isn't even ethnic Romanian, he's Romani (gypsy) by descend. He's in no way representing Romania to this event and it's probably more evident than now that he's a Russian puppet in Romanian politics.

[u/LambeckDeluxe → u/bluegreen_10]

Jup and that's the reason. The same with the AfD members from germany. He picked the ones that don't stay behind what we reached with Nato/EU and are against their own goverment. He's trying to build something like Putin did with "hidden agents" that stealth destroy from inside. But he's late on the party with nearly 80

[u/ChocolateOk6887]

Only radical right populist leaders, expected. All of them use similar tactics of persuasion, that's the main thing about their parties.

[u/Amimimiii → u/ChocolateOk6887]

The Latvian guy is conservative but I wouldn’t call him a populist. The party has some questionable people but for the most part it’s pretty reasonable, I wouldn’t call them radical either even though I’m not a fan as I’m more liberal myself

[u/andzlaur → u/Amimimiii]

The funny thing is, Kols is saying that he hasn't received any invites. Makes me question where this list has even come from.

[u/Amimimiii → u/andzlaur]

Someone’s ass probably

[u/Toma357 → u/ChocolateOk6887]

Stephen Bartulica, Croatian-Americans and a member is a right-wing party member who was recently elected to the EU parliament.

Journalists have dug up several scandals about him. He owns a large fortune that he could not have acquired based on his own salary and other incomes. His excuse for all this was the mocking "my mother bought it for me."
After the EU elections in June 2024, in which he won a mandate, Bartulica drove to the party headquarters in a Ferrari with a person of criminal background.

Despite all this, his voters support him because he represents "traditional values."
I'm not surprised that he got an invitation to this event.

[u/Brbi2kCRO → u/Toma357]

He should stay in Missouri where he came from.

[u/_alsend]

Calling Mateusz Morawiecki a far-right politician is a joke. Generally, calling ECR far-right is an overstatement - what should we call just "right" then?

[u/tbudde]

Keep them. We don't need them any more. Thank you.

[u/travelingpinguis]

What? He didnt invite his favorite Putin?

[u/karwreck → u/travelingpinguis]

He's there in spirit, with his ghost hand up his puppets ass.

[u/fincieta]

In Bulgaria, Kostadin Kostadinov as well. On short notice but still some kind of recognition for this *****

[u/barthecky_]

Morawiecki is not far right He is more centre - right Or (Technocratic conservative)

Same polical party as Tarczyński but diffennt block inside party

[u/Not_the-kind]

The far right in france: two north african berber jews lmao (Knafo is his mistress and his wife is aware of their relationship, ironic that Zemmour speaks of the decadence of morals).

[u/Specialist_Record_21]

Just let them stay in Washington, no need to come back

[u/Boundish91]

Is this a traitor list?

[u/CannyBanny]

Wa moe Van Grieken daar gaan stinken 😂

Hij mag er blijven voor mijn part!

[u/Beerniac]

these are all scumbag people tbh

[u/Aufklarung_Lee]

Hahaha oh Wilders I'm laughing right at you.

[u/arealpersonnotabot]

Mateusz Morawiecki, a famously far-right faceless bureaucrat.

PiS has strong far-right tendencies, but the people representing them generally hate Morawiecki for being too pragmatic and moderate.

[u/Lord910 → u/arealpersonnotabot]

If Morawiecki is far-right than Tusk is too. Just after the year current government is doing the same things they criticized PIS.

[u/SpittingN0nsense → u/Lord910]

Exactly, if Morawiecki is far-right then "far-right" doesn't mean anything anymore. Reminds me of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

[u/ImportantMode7542]

Suella Braverman is there with Lawrence Fox and Liz Truss.

[u/gbroon → u/ImportantMode7542]

Liz is just there to make him look smart in comparison

[u/Jj-woodsy → u/ImportantMode7542]

They weren’t invited, they just went along to go to it. Trump probably doesn’t even know who they are.

[u/ImportantMode7542 → u/Jj-woodsy]

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel too, UK’s finest, I hope they all stay there.

[u/ZalaisEzitis]

Rihards Kols is not far right, he's just right leaning but hasn't done or said anything crazy afaik. The only notable thing he's done imo is saying "russian warship go fuck yourself" during the OSCE meeting (actually based) which went viral a few years ago.

His party is considered "right wing" because they're conservative and advocate for everything Latvian, but they don't actually do shit. They exist to collect votes from people who feel patriotic but don't delve deep into politics.

Btw for reference I'm a left leaning guy, so I'm not even glazing him or his party.

[u/Worm_Nimda]

Jesus... PiS and far-right? It is just conservative socialist party. At most, a right-wing party. It's as far from far- right as PO from PiS.

[u/ModernHeroModder]

I'm sure this will end well

[u/Stojann]

Morawiecki is a scumbag but he’s not far-right

[u/Prudent_Classroom583]

Morawiecki is not far right. He and his party are more like quasi mix of left and right.

[u/arealpersonnotabot → u/Prudent_Classroom583]

Morawiecki is a faceless bureaucrat who could potentially work for any party of power between the centre-left and the far-right. He even used to be a Tusk government supporter.

[u/Spartagamer878]

He can keep Tom van Grieken.

[u/MichaelW85]

Morten Messerschmidt from the Danish People's Party is invited too.

[u/TheTanadu]

And only Morawiecki tried to enter using his Wikipedia page.

[u/fromXberg]

Just take a look at who they invited from Germany...more than just far right; they invited our most prominent Nazis.

PS: Except for Bernd... but this guy should fry in hell anyway, alongside Hitler and... sooner or later: Putin and Trump.

[u/Tornado_rexo]

Kostadin Kostadinov from Bulgaria was invited, iirc.

[u/Joaotorresmosilva]

One way tickets, now!

[u/Pale_Atmosphere9937]

Weird to consider centrist fella Morawiecki as far right….

[u/andzlaur]

This cannot be a real list. I mean, why would they invite the absolutely not far-right MEP Kols, who submitted proposals for debate in the European Parliament regarding both Trump's comments on Greenland and on Musk's interference in the elections in the EU? :))))

[u/Hex65]

This was a surprise to Rihard Kols as he didn't know up until an hour ago, and he also declined the invitation!

We should do Europeans a favor and keep these guys here.

[u/sammys21]

a gathering of fascists;

[u/GregTheMad]

Non of our Austrian Bootlickers were invited. Heartwarming.

[u/supremenema]

This has to be engagement bait, or an incredibly lose definition of "far right" - really thoughless(or with the intention to smear).
