The Hungarian Prime Minister, the ultranationalist Viktor Orbándoes not seem ready to stop in his solitary barrages and has added a meeting with Donald Trump to his presence in the United States, after the NATO summit. His purpose, according to ‘The Guardian’, is to move the Republican candidate to the White House, his political partner with Vladimir Putin, the results of the “peace mission” for Ukraine that took him to Moscow and Beijing a few days ago.
The proper reconciliation process begins immediately after assuming office Hungary the rotating president of the European Council. He first went to Kyiv, where he met with the President Volodymyr Zelensky; He then moved to Moscow, where he met with the Kremlin leader, Putin, and finally continued to Beijing, where he received Xi Jinping. There are warnings and announcements from Brussels from both the President of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyenas well as the European High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Joseph Borrell. They explained that Orbán was not present as the “current President” of the EU, while other leaders, such as the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, they condemned such service. The “surprise” visits by the Hungarian leader have not been coordinated, much less blessed, by Brussels. At the meeting of EU representatives, the Hungarian Prime Minister was criticized, while looking for ways to prevent him from going forward with these peacekeeping missions.
Meeting with Trump, to whom Orbán has more political ties than those he has with the current US President, Joe Bidenis kind of the icing on the cake in the series provocation with which the ultranationalist leader is confirming his term as President of the European Commission. Orbán is recognized as the strongest ally of the Kremlin within the regional party. The meeting with Trump also weighed on nagging fears within NATO of a Republican return to the White House, amid uncertainty about Biden’s political future.
The new party is the European Parliament
Orbán’s challenges come from different sides. On the one hand, because of the non-consensual “peace missions” that are presumably closer to the ideas of Trump or Putin than those of Kyiv. On the other hand, for his confirmation as the new leader of one of the branches of the European far-right family. Orbán, whose Fidesz party has left the European Popular Party in 2021, is the main attraction Australian FPÖ, a group that hopes to win the Alpine national elections in September. Then he rejoined the so-called Patriot for Europe al National Regrouping of France Marine Le Pen and ended up surrounding it with other groups from that perspective, including Spain Vox, with a total of 84 seats in the European Parliament. It is now above the Reform Conservatives (ECR) of Italy Georgia Meloniwith 78 seats, and distance to the flat party led by the radical Alternative for Germany (AfD), with 25 MEPs.
