Presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) will be invited for the first summit of "Movement," a nationalist, populist and ultra-right group formed in Europe.
The group is Steve Bannon's brainchild. Bannon, a former advisor of Donald Trump, has already met with one of Bolsonaro's sons in New York.
The group's goal is to have its inaugural summit in mid-January in Brussels. The organizers hope to attract members of the Trump administration and representatives from the Tea Party, a conservative movement with the Republican Party.
"We plan to have in our summit 20 to 25 groups, movements or party from Europe, and maybe from other parts of the world, as well as one or two honorary presidents," said Mischael Modrikamen, one of the leaders of the far-right Popular Party in Belgium.
Among the politicians already enlisted, there is Matteo Salvini, Italy's deputy prime minister. Salvi also leads the League (formerly known as the Northern League), an ultra-right group, which has the primary goal of rejecting immigrants. |
A 'LIBERAL BLOCK' IN LATIN AMERICA
Even before the election runoff, candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) has started conversations with South American presidents to establish a "liberal alliance" if he's elected on Sunday (28th).
He has been approaching right-wing presidents such as Mauricio Macri (Argentina), Sebastián Piñera (Chile) and Mario Abdo Benítez (Paraguay).
The idea is to recreate Brazil's interaction with South American countries. Bolsonaro criticizes the current Mercosul model, saying the block has been "perverted by the Workers' Party."
