European EPP party moves to exclude Hungary’s Orban

Twelve national members of the center-right European People’s Party have officially requested the exclusion of Hungary’s populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his party Fidesz, the party leader says.

“Twelve EPP member parties from nine countries have requested the exclusion or suspension of Fidesz,” party leader Joseph Daul tells AFP, adding that the question will be discussed at a meeting on March 20.

The EPP is the biggest party in European Parliament, and makes up the main center-right movements in Europe, including Angela Merkel’s CDU and France’s Les Republicains.
