Patriots for Europe Criticize EU Policies in Brussels Gathering

A gathering of "Patriots for Europe" in Brussels has voiced strong criticism against the European Commission, particularly targeting the Green Deal. The group argues that the Commission's policies are detrimental to the European economy, farmers, and businesses, advocating instead for robust industrial development and energy sovereignty.

The statement issued by the group calls for Europe to play a mediating and supportive role in resolving regional conflicts. This stance aligns with their broader vision of a "Europe of nations," as articulated during a previous "Patriot Grand Assembly" in Budapest.

That earlier assembly featured prominent right-wing and national-conservative politicians from across Europe, including Marine Le Pen of France's National Rally, Matteo Salvini, Italy's Deputy Prime Minister, and Santiago Abascal, president of Spain's VOX party. Their collective message from Budapest was a rejection of what they termed "imperial dictates" and an affirmation of their commitment to national interests within Europe.
