Lawyer Péter Magyar is currently leading mass protests in Hungary – and could strengthen the EPP Group after the European elections.

There have been no Hungarian MEPs in the EPP Group in the European Parliament since 2021. Hungarian opposition parties want to change this in the upcoming European elections. „I have good reason to expect that the EPP would accept us„, said Péter Róna, lead candidate of Jobbik Table.Briefings. Róna, who has long been close to the Greens and has made a name for himself in Hungary as a liberal economist, is running in the European elections at the age of 81. Péter Magyar, the new star of Hungarian politics, is also expected in Budapest to join the EPP if he wins the election.
