Hungary: Orban launches memorandum to move PPE to the right
He wants to ally with Salvini's Lega and German AFD
21 February, 12:36According to Orban, the EPP is losing consensus and influence, getting closer to the liberal and leftist parties, "there is almost no difference anymore, Christian values are being lost," "It is a mistake - Orban wrote - and the solution would be to form alliances in the European Parliament, but also in national parliaments, sometimes even with right-wing parties." The memorandum does not mention any name, but according to Budapest government sources, Orban is thinking of Italy's Lega and Germany's AFD. The EPP Zagreb Congress did not lead to an open discussion on the line to follow, again according to Orban, and the elected president, Donald Tusk (Polish) "is unsuitable for office," as "he brings Poland's internal politics matters into the EPP."
