Orban announces new right-wing European bloc in trip to Vienna
HUNGARIAN Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced the formation of a new right-wing European bloc in Vienna today.
Mr Orban, whose government takes over the EU’s rotating presidency for the next six months on Monday, travelled to the Austrian capital to present the new Patriots of Europe alliance, formed of his party Fidesz, Austria’s Freedom Party and the Czech ANO (“Action of Dissatisfied Citizens”) led by former PM Andrej Babis.
He said his bloc would stand for “peace, order and development” against a Brussels elite committed to “war, migration and stagnation.”
