The far-right MEPs in the European Parliament are trying to expand their influence. Bernd Lange (SPD), Chairman of the Committee of Committee Chairs (CCC), attests that MEPs from the Patriots for Europe (PfE) group in particular are making a much greater contribution in terms of content than in the previous legislative period: Previously, they had mainly used Parliament for social media contributions. „Today, they table resolutions and amendments – in the hope of achieving majorities with the help of the EPP.“
