Vox Opens Europa Viva 25 in Madrid Under 'Reconquista' Slogan, Puts Immigration at the Forefront

A scaled-back slate of foreign allies includes a telematic appearance by Argentina’s Javier Milei after setbacks in Buenos Aires.

Overview

  • The two-day convention at Madrid’s Palacio de Vistalegre is co-organized with the Patriots European grouping.
  • Party leaders cast a broad “reconquista” project around national identity, tighter migration controls, and opposition to Islamism, including proposals to restrict public Muslim rites.
  • Organizers are withholding Sunday’s program until after Saturday’s sessions, with speeches expected both in person and online.
  • Reports describe notable absences from past headliners such as Matteo Salvini, Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orbán, while Milei will address attendees remotely.
  • Vox ties its message to recent migration pressures and the killing of Charlie Kirk in the United States, and aims to mobilize younger voters in competition with the Partido Popular.
