Orbán Joins Right-Wing Summit in Brussels as Magyar Attends EU Meeting

Orbán used the Patriots for Europe summit to press a harder line on migration and EU oversight as Magyar joined leaders advancing Ukraine talks.

  • On Thursday, Prime Minister Magyar made his debut at a European Union summit in Brussels, as former Prime Minister Viktor Orban sat out for the first time in 16 years.
  • Hungary's new government, led by Magyar and his Tisza party, pledged constructive cooperation with the European Union after lifting its veto on Ukraine's accession process last week following negotiations.
  • Viktor Orban remains active as opposition leader, attending a Thursday summit of his Patriots for Europe party group, which secured migration policy reforms through alliance with the European People's Party.
  • European Union leaders welcomed Orban's election loss with relief, yet the former leader insisted Wednesday that "the rise of patriotic political organizations, communities, and parties across Europe" continues unabated.
  • Despite recent successes for France's National Rally, researcher Gabriela Greilinger noted fractures have emerged within Europe's far-right over the United States and Israel's war in Iran.
