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.

Texas Floods: Death toll rises to 68, dozens still missing

The death toll from the devastating floods in central-south Texas rose to 68 on Sunday, according to local authorities, as hundreds of emergency personnel and volunteers continue intensive search efforts.
Larry Leitha Jr., sheriff of Kerr County, one of the hardest-hit areas, confirmed that 59 of the victims were found in that county alone — 38 adults and 21 minors.
“We will continue the search until we find everyone,” Leitha told reporters Sunday morning, adding that the death toll is expected to rise.
Authorities in neighboring counties have also reported 9 additional deaths:
-
3 in Burnet County
-
1 in Kendall County
-
1 in Tom Green County
-
4 in Travis County
Leitha also reported that 11 children and teenagers from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp near the town of Hunt, remain missing.
In Kerr County, over 400 rescue workers from 20 different federal and state agencies are involved in the ongoing search and rescue operations.
Local officials have avoided giving a precise number of missing persons, as many visitors were camping in the area for Fourth of July celebrations and may not be accounted for.
More than 850 people have been safely evacuated, and eight were injured. Authorities reported over 160 air rescues.
Dalton Rice, city manager of Kerrville, noted that these are the worst floods the region has seen since 1987, when 10 teenagers died.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott requested a federal disaster declaration from the Trump administration and declared Sunday a national day of prayer.
According to the National Weather Service, more than 12 inches (30 cm) of rainfall were recorded in just 12 hours on Friday, causing the Guadalupe River near Hunt to rise to 32.5 feet (9.9 meters) — its second-highest level on record.

Salvadoran Day USA 2025 canceled amid fears of immigration raids

The Salvadoran Day USA 2025 celebration, originally scheduled for Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3, has been officially canceled due to security concerns related to ongoing immigration raids targeting the Latino community in the United States.
The Salvadoran Communities Unit in the United States (UNICOMDES) made the announcement through an official statement on its social media platforms, expressing deep regret over the decision.
“With great sadness, we announce the cancellation of the Salvadoran Day USA Festival 2025,” the organization stated.
According to UNICOMDES, the cancellation came after a thorough assessment of the current immigration climateand extensive consultations with immigration experts, local and Salvadoran authorities, media outlets, sponsors, and community members.
“Holding the festival would be irresponsible, as it is an open-air event where it is impossible to fully control who enters,” the statement added.
UNICOMDES also confirmed that the refund process for all funds collected for the event has already begun. The festival typically attracts thousands of Salvadorans across various cities in the U.S.

Mexico’s president blasts ‘Inhumane’ U.S. migration law

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Friday that any Mexican detained in the United States should be “immediately” returned to Mexico. Her remarks come in the wake of the opening of a new migrant detention center in Florida earlier this week.
Speaking during her daily press conference, known as La Mañanera del Pueblo, Sheinbaum emphasized that so far, no Mexican national has been held in the facility, which has already sparked controversy and has been nicknamed “the Alcatraz of the Alligators.”
She also criticized the new fiscal law signed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, passed by Congress just a day earlier. The law, which Trump dubbed the “great and beautiful tax reform,” includes significant tax cuts and sweeping reductions in public policies, reallocating billions toward national security and defense—including $170 billion to enhance border security, deportations, and the expansion of detention centers.
“We do not agree with a punitive approach to migration. Migration must be addressed through its structural causes, with cooperation for development,” Sheinbaum asserted.
The Mexican president labeled the Trump administration’s view of migrants as criminals as “inhumane,” and warned that such policies ultimately harm the U.S. economy. She pointed to the mass deportation of agricultural workers as an example of how these actions are already backfiring.
“These are hardworking people—people of good will—who contribute more to the U.S. economy than they do to Mexico’s,” Sheinbaum said, announcing that her government will strengthen support programs to ensure that affected migrants can return home safely and reintegrate into the workforce.
