(ANSA-AP) - BUDAPEST, MAR 8 - Hungary's prime minister says
that if his Fidesz party is ousted from the main center-right
group in the European Parliament, he may seek an alliance with
Poland's ruling party.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday on state radio that
conflicts with the European People's Party, which is expected to
make a decision on Fidesz's status on March 20, are rooted in
Hungary's opposition to immigration.
Poland's governing populist Law and Justice Party is not in
the EPP and Orban has a close relationship with Law and Justice
leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Hungary and Poland are also facing EU
procedures because of concerns about the rule of law.
Orban said he would prefer to stay in the EPP, but reform it
so "there is room inside it for anti-immigration forces like
us." (ANSA-AP).
