Santiago Abascal Makes Headlines with French Speech at European Patriots Event
Santiago Abascal has become a trending topic on X after his recent speech at an event organized by the European Patriots, a coalition of far-right parties within the European Parliament, including his own party, Vox. The event took place in Mormant sur Vernisson and commemorated the first anniversary of the last European elections, celebrating the success of ultra-nationalist parties in the European Parliament.
During the event, Abascal attempted to honor Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Rally in France, by addressing the crowd in French. However, his efforts were met with mixed reactions as many noted his questionable command of the language, leading to some confusion among the audience. "I am sure you already know her. There is no need to repeat it. Every day that passes is one day less until Marine Le Pen becomes president of the Republic," stated Abascal, a remark that has sparked significant conversation online.
In a blend of Spanish and French, Abascal further expressed his belief in Le Pen's inevitable rise to the presidency, stating, "Marine will be president of France. They won’t be able to stop it. Her moment will be an important moment for all Europeans because France wants Marine to succeed and to revive France."
This speech drew attention on social media, with many users discussing both Abascal's bilingual attempt and Le Pen's reaction during his speech. As the political landscape evolves in Europe, Abascal's declaration and the atmosphere at the event signal the ongoing momentum of far-right parties across the continent, marking a pivotal moment not only for the parties involved but also for their supporters.
