Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, stated that his party Fidesz will form a partnership with populist parties from Austria and the Czech Republic to create a new right-wing faction in the European Parliament, named "Patriots for Europe." This alliance, which also includes FPO and ANO, is predicted to grow in size and become the "largest faction of right-wing forces in Europe," according to Orban's remarks during a speech in Vienna. The merger of these European parties could potentially shift the political landscape within the EU and on the continent of Europe. In response to this development, some political analysts and EU officials have expressed concerns about the potential impact of this party alliance on democratic values and human rights within the EU.
