Part Maloney "Brothers of Italy" sits with the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) in the EU Parliament, and the "National Rally" Le Pen is part of the group "Identity and Democracy" (ID).
French far-right leader Marine Le Pen's call to Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni to form a right-wing supergroup in the next European Parliament was supported and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Moreover, he stated that the future of the sovereignist camp in Europe and the right lies in the hands of two women.
This was mentioned in Politico.
“The future of the sovereignist camp in Europe and the right lies in the hands of two women… If the French extremes and the Italian leader work together within the same group or coalition, they will be a force for Europe,” Politico reports Orban as saying.
With the far right predicted to “grow larger” in the June 6-9 EU elections, Le Pen has floated the idea of creating a single legal group that she says could become a second force in parliament behind the center-right European Union. people's party and give Europe a push to the right .
Orban shares Le Pen's vision.
“The momentum generated by such a partnership could be enough to reconfigure the European right or even dislodge the European People's Party,” he said.
Orban's Fidesz party left the EPP in 2021 and is negotiating to join the ECR. However, the Hungarian leader said his political force would demand that the ECR clarify its position on future relations with the Hungarian-backed National Rally Le Pen and the EPP, which Orban has criticized as being under German influence.
“In addition to the number of seats that one or another party will receive, the most important, in my opinion, will be the number of members of the European Parliament who are ready to go further in the war in Ukraine, and the number of those who will be in favor of ending it,” – said Orban.
Recall that recently the Prime Minister of Italy spoke out against sending troops to Ukraine. She responded to a proposal put forward by France regarding possible direct military intervention. According to her, Italy's position is not in favor of this hypothesis, which is a harbinger of a dangerous escalation that should be avoided at all costs.
