HUNGARIAN Prime Minister Viktor Orban hosted Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Italy’s leader of the League party Matteo Salvini in Budapest to call for a “resurrection” of Christian Europe ahead of the Easter weekend.
The trio are in talks on a reorganisation of hard-right politics within the European Union following the expulsion of Mr Orban’s Fidesz party from the European People’s Party, the European Parliament’s largest bloc including conservative parties like Germany’s ruling Christian Democrats.
They said they were discussing a project built around “Atlanticism, freedom, family, Christianity, sovereignty and opposing anti-semitism.”
