And now here's a breakdown of the political parties and leaders represented at this year's #CPACHungary.

All of them are far-right Christian nationalists with ties to youth paramilitary organizations, Neo-Nazi groups and have espoused "white European great replacement" theory.
Jordan Bardella of National Rally is the right hand man of Marine Le Pen. He was previously involved with Generation Identitaire, a group banned in FR for neo-Nazi activity and hate crimes. They claim to fight against "white European great replacement" and support remigration.
Tom Van Grieken, the current head of the Vlaams Belang Party in Belgium, has stated that "White should be a dominant factor in our society" and that Flanders should be white and Christian. His party has been tied to neo-Nazi discords/symbolism and summer youth paramilitary camps.
The Freedom Party of Austria was founded by two former SS officers and has had members resign over poems comparing immigrants to rats and warning of "mixing cultures." They have previously been censured for use of anti-Semitic tropes and racial slurs targeting Muslims. 1/2
Current chair, Herbert Kickl, was the Interior Minister who ordered an attempted coup of domestic intelligence agencies. He also circulated a memo attempting to create a propaganda network, limit press to positive entities and publishing national origin of criminals 2/2
Tricolour Citizens Movement in the Czech Republic is a hard-right Euroseptic group with ties to neo-Nazi candidates. Members espouse national socialism and use Nazi symbolism. They started the National Militia and are active in the fascist National Party and Patriotic Front.
Santiago Abascal of the Vox Party in Spain has called for a "reconquest of Spain" to build an unbreachable wall around North Africa, repealing laws to combat gender-based violence and implement abortion bans. The Vox have promoted David Duke and are self-described proud sexists.

In my research of the people and organizations taking center stage at this year's #CPACHungary....I found the disturbing trend.

Unlike the firebrands of previous years, this year focuses on Christian nationalist legal experts with experience in using the courts

1/🧵
Center for Fundamental Rights calls LGBTQ equality "sick" and has worked with Orban's government to design laws that outlaw marriage, adoption and recognition of transgendered individuals. They've also worked on anti-abortion laws to "strengthen the family" and protect children.
Viktor Orban's Fidesz Party has promoted anti-Semitic crops, glorified historical figures responsible for killing Hungarian Jews during WW2, emboldened paramilitary groups. Loyal party leaders have called for the registration of all Jews in Hungary as well.
