Commission chief barters for reelection votes from liberals and greens, ignoring will of European voters
Final composition of ‘Europe of Sovereign Nations’ set for next week.
Isolating the third largest group in Brussels would be “deeply anti-democratic,” Patriots’ MEP Enikő Győri said.
Hungarian PM’s presentation of council presidency agenda delayed until September
Last-minute additions from Czechia and Greece have strengthened the new group to 84 MEPs from 12 nations, making it the EP’s third-largest.
