BUDAPEST (Reuters) – Hungary’s ruling Fidesz party and the European People’s Party have “practically separated” and Fidesz is in talks with various political forces as it seeks a new group in the European Parliament, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told radio on Friday.
On Wednesday, Orban’s Fidesz left the largest centre-right political group in the parliament after the faction moved towards suspending it in a tug-of-war over Orban’s democratic record.
