Donald Trump's success marks the defeat of the Greens in the European Union. 1 MEP of this group, commenting on the results of the U.S. elections, estimated that "she has overcome brutality, contempt and chaos". It can be enjoyed by “the utmost right” for which the triumph of Republicans in the US is “the possible start of a fresh era”.
Co-president of the Verts/ALE Group in the European Parliament Terry Reintke expressed dismay over Donald Trump's second term. "This is simply a black day. For the United States, Europe and the world," she wrote. "As Europeans, we must unite to defend democracy: the regulation of law, fundamental rights and social rights. Women's rights. Solidarity with Ukraine" she added.
Euro MP Erik Marquardt suggested that “terrorism” prevailed. "The Trump election is terrible for so many people in the US, Ukraine, Taiwan and wherever it was believed that democracy, decency and honesty would yet prevail over wickedness," he suggested. "In these elections, much more has been lost than can now be understood," said the Greens representative.
Mary Toussaint, a Euro MP from France, stated: “Truth, contempt and chaos prevailed tonight.”
The results of the American election are enjoyed by right-wing MPs. An alternate Euro MP for Germany (AfD) Siegbert Droese called Republican triumph a "historical" and expects policy change in his country. "I sincerely congratulate Donald Trump on this historical result. It represents a kind of policy that is in the interests of American citizens: zero tolerance for illegal migration, diplomacy alternatively of incitement to war and reasonable economical management alternatively of the madness of the Green Deal!' he commented.
"These were historical elections that signal a extremist change in politics led by the most powerful country in the world. I am now assured that we will experience a political return in Germany and Europe, and I look forward to the next 4 years," he added.
MP and Secretary-General AfD Saxony-Anhalt Jan Wenzel Schmidt believes that Donald Trump's triumph "will give impetus to right-wing conservative forces throughout Europe". Republicans succeeded in defeating the "awakened liberal elite", and success was made possible by average citizens who do not want to be dictated how to live. The politician expects Trump and Musk to support the "European Right".
Vice-President of the Group of European Conservatives and Reformists Hermann Tertsch stressed that Trump's and Republicans' triumph was "very important". "This is 1 step, but most likely the most crucial step in the full reconstruction of national, conservative, conservative-national forces that defend Western values and the West," said the Spanish MEP, who expects "new times for fact and freedom defenders".
The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has peculiar reasons to celebrate, who promised to drink a fewer bottles of champagne if his friend Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election.
On Thursday, an informal summit of EU leaders begins in Budapest. associate States' leaders will wonder what policy to prosecute in relations with the United States.
This is simply a crucial minute for Europe in a situation where the fragile French government is fighting for survival, struggling with a immense budget gap; the ruling coalition in Germany has broken up due to economical problems, and discussions will be broadcast by the Hungarian Prime Minister with the head of the Italian Government.
A close associate of Emmanuel Macron commented: “It is apparent that now is the most crucial minute for Meloni and the Orbáns of this world. We [France] have no control over modern crucial global issues."
Macron was severely weakened in the country after early elections, resulting in the National Unity organization winning the most seats in parliament in the early summer.
W Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz was just in the mediate of an expanding leadership crisis that led to the collapse of his ruling coalition.
In addition to Orbán, ideologically close to Trump are: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – although she does not support the Hungarian position towards Moscow – and Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer. A akin approach has the Dutch coalition of Geert Wilders and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who, like Orbán, is active in a dispute over the regulation of law with Brussels. Andrej Babiš is due to return to this group next year, with good chances of winning next year's elections in the Czech Republic.
Meloni is expected to play a leading function in cooperation with Trump, as she is the only Conservative among the leaders of the countries – the founders of the EU and large economies in Europe. She is simply a foster kid of Steve Bannon, a erstwhile president-elect strategist.
For Orbán, Trump's choice is intended to supply an chance to redefine the West – from a coalition led by the US, based on liberal values, to a looser organization where conservative values dominate. The Hungarian leader called for the improvement of a "new European strategy" for Ukraine.
Macron together with the head of Polish diplomacy Radek Sikorski convinces that the focus should now be on building his own European safety system.
