New right-wing group formed in the EU Parliament

The right-wing alliance "Patriots for Europe", launched by Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has founded a group in the European Parliament. In addition to Orban's Fidesz party, the right-wing nationalist Rassemblement National from France, the nationalist Lega party, which is part of Italy's government, and the anti-immigration FPÖ party from Austria will also be part of the group, as representatives of the alliance said after the founding meeting in Brussels. The AfD will not be a member for the time being.
