BUDAPEST/ROTTERSDORF, Germany - The leader of the main center-right party in the European parliament said on Tuesday that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban must apologize for his criticism of the EU or his ruling Fidesz party could be suspended from the grouping.
The Hungarian leader has long been at loggerheads with Brussels over his hardline stance on immigration and accusations - which he denies - that he is undermining the rule of law. The feud is escalating ahead of European Parliament elections in May. Orban’s party said in an emailed statement, “Fidesz does not want to leave the People’s Party, our goal is for anti-immigration forces to gain strength within the EPP”.
“In the details, of course, we have differences of views, but far more important than these differing opinions is that this initiative be a good start to a serious and constructive dialogue on the future of Europe,” Orban said in a statement to Reuters.
