“Trump, Milei and Meloni: story of the governments against the left woke up“. Minuesa Cakenicknamed as the “right-wing troublemaker” has published this video, in which the three international leaders are praised, this Tuesday on its YouTube channel. It includes interventions such as the famous speech of the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloniat a Vox rally when he exclaimed the following: “Yes to the natural family, no to LGBT lobbies. Yes to sexual identity, no to gender ideology. Yes to the culture of life, no to the abyss of death. Yes to the universality of the cross, no to Islamist violence.
This is not the first time that Cake Minuesa shows its closeness to a leader or political party. This October the supposed journalist received he “To the fight for freedom” award from the Vox team in Ciudad Linealone of the districts of Madrid.
But the relationship with Vox and Fratelli d’Italia, Meloni’s party, goes further. Minuesa has collected in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 from the group in the European Parliament that shared the formation of Meloni and that of Abascalamong other parties. The European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group has spent 126,500 euros in those four years to commission promotional videos from the Minuesa audiovisual production company.
The first contract is from 2020. Vox arrived at the European Parliament in the summer of 2019, after the elections in May of that year. To the next exercise ECRthe group in which those from Abascal had joined and led by Fratelli d’Italia, now hires Caelum Productionsthe Cake Minuesa company, for “promotional video production”. That year the amount of the contract was 28,250 euros, as stated in the ECR document published on the European Parliament website.
The European Parliament groups are obliged to publish the list of contracts exceeding 15,000 euros that they have signed with third parties each year. ECR documents 2021, 2022 and 2023 They pick up the Minuesa contract again. The highest award It occurred precisely in that last year, when ECR disbursed 38,500 euros to order the videos promotional to Caelum Producciones.
It is unknown if ECR has hired the production company again in 2024. Until the end of the year, the list of contracts for each group is not made public. Therefore, it will be in 2025 when the document for this year can be consulted and it can be verified whether ECR has continued to rely on Minuesa for the production of its videos.
But now there is a substantial difference: Vox is no longer part of ECR. After the European elections last May, the Santiago party Abascal decided to join the group Patriotas por Europa. In fact, just a few days ago Abascal was elected president of this new European formation. This community family is considered by experts to be more extreme right than ECR and its main precursor was the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán. The French one is also part of it. Marine Le Pen and his party, National Group.
Public has asked ECR if the hiring of Minuesa was commissioned by Vox or was a decision of the entire parliamentary group. Also If after the departure of Abascal’s team we continue to count on the work of the Spanish ultra or if their services have been dispensed with. ECR has not responded to any of these questions. As of today, and after the departure of Vox, no Spanish party or MEP is part of the parliamentary group led by Meloni’s party. Alvise Pérez and his group, The party is over, tried to join it, but they were not accepted.

More public contracts with Ayuso and the PP

In 2020 The Madrid Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso awarded him a contract of 30,000 euros to make videos about the coronavirus.as revealed Public. He was accused that one of those videos had been a plagiarism of another from the regional government of Veneto (Italy). In the end, Ayuso herself had to delete one of them from her social networks because a minor was seen who had not given her consent to appear in it.
The Boadilla City Council hires the Minuesa producer year after year and always ‘on hitchhiking’
Other administrations managed by the Popular Partysuch as the Boadilla del Monte City Council (Madrid), They have also hired the production company of the “right-wing troublemaker”. The Boadilla City Council, led by the PP, has hired Minuesa for different videos at least in 2018, 2020 and 2021. Always with smaller contracts, which allow the awarding ‘by hand’.
Minuesa has also collaborated on other occasions with Alvise Perez. In 2021, for example, he broadcast live on his YouTube channel a talk with Alvise and with the ultra Cristina Seguí.
