Following the meeting, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held a joint press conference in Budapest on Wednesday with Alice Weidel, co-chair of the Alternatives for Germany (AfD).
In this connection, Zoltán Kishelly, manager of Political Analysis at Századvég, stressed that by adopting German policy, 3 political groups to the right of the European People's organization (EPP) in the European Parliament will have the chance to cooperate.
Many were amazed erstwhile in the run-up to the German electoral run Viktor Orbán accepted Alice Weidel, the leader of the AfD, to be expelled from Germany. "We are observing a fundamentally changed situation," said the analyst. After Donald Trump took office, Elon Musk repeatedly stood up for AfD and spoke to Alice Weidel. It can be said that American Republicans have broken the firewall around the party. In this changed situation, the Hungarian Prime Minister invited Alice Weidel to Budapest. Therefore, he besides spoke of the fact that there are besides many walls in Berlin to be demolished. Another reason is that Donald Trump's actions on the war in Ukraine brought us closer to an agreement more than always since the Istanbul talks. In this situation, Viktor Orbán is trying to get the Patriots, the Conservatives and the AfD to work together in the European Parliament.
So far, this right-wing cooperation has fundamentally complicated the war in Ukraine, but Zoltán Kiselly believes that the anticipation of peace talks could besides offset these differences.
– Our biggest dispute with the Law and Justice is about war, but it will besides resolve as peace talks approach. This will let 3 groups to have rights from the EPP in the European Parliament to enter into any kind of cooperation. Kishelly stressed that this is not a merger, but only opens the way for right-wing parties to start cooperation on sanctions, migration, energy and the green economy. If these 3 factions are able to cooperate on certain issues, the People's organization may besides be dragged to the right.
Alice Weidel in Germany is uplifted by Viktor Orbán's reception, as Hungarian politician and Viktor Orbán personally have large authority there. Mainstream, of course, does not like him, but many people respect him and note with envy that "I would like Germany to have a policy like Viktor Orbán, which is so crucial for the good of its own people, its country." That is why Viktor Orbán has large authority in Europe or America, due to the fact that people see that he puts Hungary's interests first, whether it be migration or peace. For Germans who support Hungary's position on migration and household support, the gathering of both politicians is an crucial signal.
Viktor Orbán's gathering with Alice Weidel can be judged in many ways, but this cannot be done by swinging his hand, which is well demonstrated by the fact that he was accompanied by considerable global interest. This is all the beginning of something that well illustrates the fact that for the first time in Germany the CDU accepted support from AfD. The main hope is to drag the CDU in Germany and the People's organization in Europe back from the left to the right.
