The international far-right sings victory with Donald Trump
Leaders of international far-right formations and governments took their own this Wednesday the victory of Republican Donald Trump in the US elections and identified with their postulates.
From Argentina to Brazil, from Italy to Hungary, ultra-nationalist and populist leaders sang victory with the US Republican candidate against the Democrat Kamala Harris.
Milei asks Trump to make America great
The president of Argentina, the ultra-liberal Javier Milei, congratulated Trump for his success in the elections and added that “he can count on Argentina to carry out his task.”
In a message through his X profile and in English, Milei asked Trump to “Make America Great Again. You know that you can count on Argentina to carry out your task. Success and blessings.”
Bolsonaro euphoric
A strong ally of the American Republican is the former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who was very expressive on the network X: “Thank you, my God” and quoted a psalm from the Bible: “Crying can last one night, but joy comes in the morning.”
In a long subsequent message, the former president emphasizes that with Trump’s victory “we are witnessing the resurgence of a true warrior. A man who, even after facing a brutal electoral process in 2020 and unjustifiable judicial persecution, has risen again, as few in history have achieved.”
Satisfaction of the European far-right
One of Trump’s main supporters in Europe is the Prime Minister of Hungary, the ultranationalist Viktor Orbán, who welcomed the electoral victory of the American Republican, with whom he says he has “great plans.”
Orbán was the only head of government of the European Union who supported Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and both leaders, who mutually express their admiration for each other, met for the last time on July 11.
The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, congratulated Trump on Wednesday for his victory in the presidential elections and was convinced that “now the “strategic link” between the two countries will be further strengthened”, based on “an unbreakable alliance, common values and a historical friendship.”
For his part, his vice president Matteo Salvini was euphoric about what he considered “a historic day” and summarized Trump’s ideology in: “Illegal immigration and tax cuts, defense of Christian roots and return to peace, protection of freedom of thought and not to political trials.”
In the Netherlands, a coalition of right-wing and far-right parties governs and its prime minister, Dick Schoof, congratulated the Republican leader on Wednesday, to whom he held out his hand for “cooperation in shared interests” between both countries.
For his part, Geert Wilders, leader of the radical right-wing party PVV – the main partner of the coalition – also sent a congratulatory message to Trump: “Congratulations, America. Never stop, always keep fighting!
In Spain, the president of the far-right Vox party, Santiago Abascal, congratulated Trump on his triumph and highlighted the importance of the Hispanic vote in this “victory of the free world.”
“It’s time for patriots” and “freedom,” said the leader of the third parliamentary force in Spain.
Nationalist Modi congratulates his “friend” Trump
The Prime Minister of India, the nationalist Narendra Modi, congratulated his “friend” Donald Trump and said he hoped that India and the United States would work for “well-being and to promote world peace, stability and prosperity.”
Modi and Trump enjoyed a good relationship during the time in which they coincided as leaders of India and the United States, respectively, during the first term of the American tycoon, between 2017 and 2021.
And outside of politics, the reaction of tycoon Elon Musk, who has expressly supported Trump in the campaign and was excited on his social network, X, drew attention.
“The future will be fantastic,” reads one of the SpaceX owner’s messages next to the image of a company Starship rocket taking off from a launch tower.

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
