Hungary’s prime minister has suggested that Italy’s and France’s far-right leaders, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen, should strengthen their cooperation after June’s European elections.
Hungary has not yet decided whether to support Mark Rutte’s candidacy for the post of NATO secretary general, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told French magazine Le Point today, claiming the outgoing Dutch prime minister had expressed “problematic” views in the past. .
“On the one hand he said that Hungary should leave the European Union and on the other hand that we should be forced to kneel down. This is not the best way for him to win our support”he said.
In the same interview, the Hungarian prime minister expressed the view that the leaders of the Italian and French far-rights, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen, should strengthen their cooperation after the European elections in June.
Asked whether his party, Fidesz, intends to join Meloni’s Eurogroup – the European Conservatives and Reformists – after the election, Viktor Orbán replied in the affirmative: “Yes, that remains on the agenda.” But he added that “everything can change” now that Le Pen’s rival Identity and Democracy group has ousted Germany’s AfD (“Alternative for Germany”) party. According to Orban, the AfD was the main obstacle to cooperation between the two parliamentary groups.
