      >Other leaders featured in the video include Herbert Kickl, the leader of Austria’s Freedom party (FPÖ); the Czech prime minister, Andrej Babiš; as well as the presidents of Serbia and Argentina, Aleksandar Vučić and Javier Milei.

      >Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, also makes an appearance, saying that “security cannot be taken for granted, it must be won” and describing Orbán as someone who has the qualities needed to protect his country.

      >Netanyahu’s appearance comes despite Israel’s official boycott of two of the far-right parties represented in the video, Germany’s AfD and Austria’s FPÖ, due to their antisemitic roots, noted the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

      Lmao, what a company.

    2. A bunch of mobsters, criminals, populists and hypocrites support a mobster criminal populist hypocrite.

    3. And CPAC Hungary is gonna be held on March 21 (instead of May). So 3 weeks before the election.

    4. Órban’s party supports and funds a lot of far-right parties across Europe

      Maybe they are just paying it off lol

    5. It’s infuriating that our European press treats Meloni as if she is some pro-European moderate. She is very clearly not. She’s as far-right as it gets.

      This is how normalization of the abnormal works.

    6. All the same shit.

      Meloni answering, this week, “i don’t know, not my fault” for the shit here was priceless.

      I love that Meloni shouting racist shit for 4 years was no problem, but this is going too far and that is wrong with her!

      I wish more people would recognize how interlinked and connected all these wannabe despot reactionaries are. Next time you get a vote just remember, the far right party focusing entirely on immigration and division doesn’t have you or anyone else’s best interests at heart. Look at who they happily ally with. They support Putin’s shitty little minions doing his bidding to undermine both the EU and democracy itself. You can care about migration and other issues without selling your soul to these wankers.

      Guy’s trying to whip out all the aces, since the polls show he’s about 15% behind, and will most likely lose the elections in 90 days.

      But these people aren’t the endorsements he’d like them to be.

    10. Misplaced trust, Vitor Orcban is going down in shambles.
      Putin loves the above-mentioned scum, btw 😁

      It is amazing to me how people in, for example, France, can see Le Pen support a fucking pro Russian borderline dictator and still think “mmh no actually she’s the good guy, the bad guys are definitely the other side”

    12. I hope this leads to some people, at least a few, opening their eyes to who some of these people truly are, they are ultimately outing themselves… if they join a video with Netanyahu, i think it’s pretty clear where they stand.

    13. Watch r/europe condemn these leaders, but as soon as a topic about migration comes up start reapeating their talking points.

      Other parties have since long adapted realistic migration policy. The leaders above are only out for division and fearmongering.

      Anybody with any influence or position of power should be banned from endorsing or funding any other country’s candidate in any election.

      I hope it’s not him again.

      How can anyone support a Putin supporter, a so-called friend of Trump?
      We don’t want these autocrats anymore.
