Fidesz is "so isolated" that yesterday at noon it became a founding member of a sovereignist alliance comprising 16 parties from 15 European Union member states, the director of Századvég announced on Facebook.
In his post, Zoltán Kiszelly listed the participating parties, where, in addition to old allies (see the Polish PIS), he also lists several new right-wing partners.
Fidesz broke with the European People's Party for good in March, after years of internal fighting with the alliance formed by Western European parties within the party. As we wrote, the distance of Fidesz from the European People's Party dominated by the German CDU is the result of a long process.
Recently, starting with the meeting of Matteo Salvini, Mateusz Morawiecki and Viktor Orbán in Budapest, a series of negotiations took place with different right-wing political forces, at the end of which the current alliance was established.
Today, the European right is divided into three larger units, two of which are to the right of the EPP: the ECR faction with 62 seats, which was dominated by the British Conservative Party until Brexit, and since then is controlled by the Polish governing party, PiS, which gave a third, and is led by Giorgia Meloni with the Brothers of Italy (FdI) party and the Czech Civic Democratic Party (ODS). One step to the right is the 75-member Identity and Democracy (ID) group, led by an Italian-French-German triumvirate: it includes Matteo Salvini's League, Marine Le Pen's National Consolidation, and the Alternative for Germany (AfD), and this is where the Austrian Freedom Party ( ÖVP) and the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV).
