Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has announced an alliance with populist parties from Austria and the Czech Republic at EU level to form a new far-right group in the European Parliament. The "Patriots for Europe" grouping between Fidesz, the FPÖ and the ANO should soon gain more members and become the "largest group of right-wing forces in Europe", the Fidesz leader said in Vienna on Sunday.
