President Csega said this Sunday that he “welcomes” the integration of his party into the new group of the European Parliament, which is being formed by nationalist parties led by the Hungarian Prime Minister.
At a press conference in Lisbon, Andre Ventura supported this accession to unite the European right and announced that he would facilitate a meeting of the National Directorate of Chega on Tuesday so that an enlarged National Council of the party could be convened to discuss integration. to Viktor Orban’s group.
André Ventura expressed confidence that in the next few hours or days, new populist right-wing parties will join this new group in the European Parliament, expressing confidence in a victory for the far right in France’s legislative elections this Sunday.
This Sunday in Vienna, the leaders of three major populist and nationalist parties from Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic, led by Hungary’s ultra-conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban, announced the creation of a new group in the European Parliament.
“The goal is for this group to soon become the strongest right-wing group in the European Parliament,” said the Hungarian leader, whose country will take over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union on Monday.
The new faction, which still needs the support of at least four other parties, will be called Patriots of Europe, with the three founding groups being the Hungarian Fidesz party in power, the liberal Austrian FPÖ party in opposition, and the Czech Fidesz party is in power. opposition party “Alliance of Dissatisfied Citizens” (ANO).
These three parties, which focus their policies on controlling immigration in Europe, were the winners of the recent European elections in their countries.
In addition to restrictive immigration policies, all three advocate the repeal of the future European ban on cars with internal combustion engines, as well as a review of the so-called “Green New Deal” for the environmental transformation of the European economy.
Along with Orban, the so-called “patriotic manifesto” was signed by APS leader Herbert Kickl and ANO leader and former Czech Prime Minister tycoon Andrej Babis.
All three stressed that the aim is for their announcement to be a “rocket” motivating other European teams to join their cause.
The three parties that met on Sunday have 24 MEPs, one more than the minimum of 23 to form a group in the European Parliament, although they still need to bring together at least four other parties to formalise the parliamentary alliance.
Kickl, who leads Austria’s polls with 27% of the vote ahead of the general election on September 29, stressed that from now on “all political forces willing to participate in these positive reforms will be welcome.”
“From what I’ve heard over the last few days, there will be more support at the moment than some probably imagine,” the leader of the Austrian far right said, without elaborating.
