ČT24 | Patriots for Europe group strengthens

The new group in the European Parliament, Patriots for Europe, is about to hold its inaugural meeting. They need 23 MEPs from at least seven EU member states. So far, it looks like they will meet that requirement. Comments Viktor Daňek, Deputy Director of EUROPEUM Institute.

The avalanche that Viktor Orbán has pulled off is certainly a big one, the group is significant in terms of numbers, but I think he has failed to do what he tried to do two and a half years ago, when he tried to gather forces in the political centre and become a significant force in European politics.
