We are talking about the joining of the Hungarian Fidesz party led by Orban into the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group.
“Such a move could radically change politics in Brussels and lead to the ECR becoming the third largest group after the European Parliament elections in June. “This would give the ECR greater influence over European Union affairs and signal the increasing role of nationalist politicians pushing anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic agendas,” Bloomberg writes.
At the same time, to join the alliance “the outspoken Hungarian leader will have to soften some of his positions.”
Bloomberg states that according to polls, the ECR could win 80 seats in the European Parliament. If Fidesz, which currently has 13 seats, joins, the group would be among the three most influential political forces in the EU.
