Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has announced an alliance with populist parties from Austria and the Czech Republic at the EU level to form a new far-right group in the European Parliament. The „Patriots for Europe“ grouping between the Hungarian ruling party Fidesz, the Austrian FPÖ and the Czech ANO should soon gain more members and become the „largest group of right-wing forces in Europe,“ the Fidesz leader said in Vienna on Sunday.
