In this interview, Jacob Reynolds sits down with Kinga Gál MEP, Vice-President of Fidesz and Vice-President of Patriots for Europe, the fastest-growing force in European politics.
For years the European Parliament has been the playground of the technocratic Left, the place where Green Deal absolutism, mass migration policy, NGO power networks and the worst of EU bureaucracy were quietly rubber-stamped.
But 2024 changed everything.
Voters across Europe demanded a political earthquake. And they got one.
Patriots for Europe surged to become the third-largest group in the Parliament, bringing together parties linked to Orbán, Salvini, Wilders, Babiš and Kickl, a genuine sovereignist bloc that Brussels never saw coming.
In this conversation, Kinga Gál explains:
• The collapse of the EU’s old consensus — and why voters demanded change
• How Patriots for Europe formed and why it struck such a nerve
• The real story behind Brussels’ “cordon sanitaire” and how the establishment bends its own rules to contain patriotic voices
• Why the EPP betrayed conservative voters and now props up the Left
• Where the next battles will be: the Green Deal rollback, migration files, deregulation and democratic reform
• Why patriotism — once taboo in the EU bubble — is becoming Europe’s new political mainstream
