Social conservatives view TrumpS victory as part of a larger movement to reverse progressive policies that have been implemented over the decades. Central to this movement is the political group Patriots for Europe,which\u2064 is the third-largest party in the European Parliament. A recent reception \u200dheld \u200cby the Hungarian Embassy in Washington, D.C., celebrated Trump\u2019s\u200b inauguration and the anticipated revival of conservative values\u2063 in Europe. hungarian Ambassador Szabolcs \u200cTak\u00e1cs expressed relief at the\u200c support of a U.S.administration that is not unfriendly to conservatives, acknowledging the\u200d challenges in creating a network \u2064of like-minded individuals across \u2063Europe. Santiago Abascal,the leader of the Vox Party and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mtg-vows-to-vote-for-donald-trump-even-if-hes-in-jail-and-he-could-serve-as-president-from-there\/\" title=\"MTG pledges unwavering support for Trump, even if incarcerated - Presidency possible behind bars.\">current \u2062president<\/a> of Patriots.EU, hailed Trump&#8217;s victory as a &#8220;revolution\u2063 of common sense&#8221; and urged European \u200cconservatives to \u2063seize the chance\u200b for \u200da\u2062 return to traditional \u2062values. The coalition representing\u2064 various European parties \u200bemphasizes\u200d Euroscepticism and the preservation of national identities amidst globalization,critiquing the\u200c European Union for failing to align with the interests of individual nations and communities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">European right wing bringing MAGA abroad: &lsquo;Europe cannot miss this train&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1886142\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Social conservatives across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Europe<\/a> see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">President Donald Trump&rsquo;s<\/a> decisive victory as the beginning of a larger global campaign to undo decades of progressive policies in Western nations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Among the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-happening-pennsylvania-state-legislature-files-resolution-disputes-statewide-2020-election-results\/\" title=\"It&#039;s Happening: Pennsylvania State Legislature Files Resolution -- DISPUTES STATEWIDE 2020 ELECTION RESULTS\">political parties<\/a> at the forefront of this movement is Patriots for Europe, the third-largest political group in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/european-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">European Parliament<\/a>, and its affiliated Patriots.EU party.<\/p>\n<p>The Hungarian Embassy in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Washington D.C.\">Washington, D.C.<\/a>, held a reception for Patriots.EU leaders on Tuesday, where the group celebrated Trump&rsquo;s inauguration and what they believe will be a period of surging relevance for commonsense conservatism.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is the first event that I can hold in Washington, D.C., under an administration which is not hostile to us,&rdquo; Hungarian Ambassador Szabolcs Tak&aacute;cs told an applauding crowd. &ldquo;I can feel a change [in the] air.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know, the liberals always told us, &lsquo;Oh, we don&rsquo;t have to worry about your international network because you conservatives, you fascists, you radicals, you like only yourself and you will never have international relations,&rsquo;&rdquo; Tak&aacute;cs said, admitting that &ldquo;it was in fact a gargantuan task &mdash; to set up a network of patriots in Europe.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hungarian Ambassador L&aacute;szl&oacute; Szab&oacute; speaks at an event at the Hungarian Embassy, Washington, D.C.
