After several months of friendship, Meloni's party has accused Orban of wanting to "facilitate the entry of spies into the territory of a member state to destabilize the European Union".
We all loved each other very much, as the title of Ettore Scola's famous film. Once upon a time, just a few months ago, before the European elections in June, there was a political love story between the three main pillars of sovereigntism in Europe: the two heavyweights of the European Conservative and Reformist (ECR) party, Giorgia.
Meloni, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Viktor Orbán, whose national party, Fidesz, had been ousted by the people, appeared to be on the verge of finding a home in the arms of the two allies. But after years, the most visible rift among Europe's populist right has emerged over relations with Russia.
A rift so wide that the ECR says on its official website that Orbán's Hungary is now "a Russian Trojan horse at the gates of the EU".
An article published by "The Conservative", states that the European party led by the Italian Prime Minister shamelessly attacks Budapest, which is guilty of endangering European democracies, winking at Putin's Russia.
The accusation stems from Orban's recent decision to simplify visa procedures for Russian and Belarusian citizens: for conservatives, Prime Minister Magyar is "working slowly, in small steps" in order to "facilitate the introduction of spies into the territory of a state member to destabilize the European Union."
After the European elections, when there was speculation about the creation of a far-right supergroup in the EU Parliament, Orbán had rejected an invitation to join the ECR due to the simultaneous entry into Melon's group of five MEPs from the Alliance for the Union of Romanians, an ultra-nationalist and openly anti-Hungarian party.
Within weeks, the Hungarian prime minister has given life to a new sovereigntist group in the European Parliament, Patriots for Europe, effectively subsuming the old Identity and Democracy group and also taking several national groups out of the ECR.
The creation of further political space to the right by the ECR, with Orbán's Patriots and then with the Europe of Sovereign Nations founded by Germany's AfD, gave Meloni a new guise as a moderate right-wing leader, also allowed ECR to stay off the cord.
A mask, that of the democratic and pro-European right, which ECR uses explicitly in the article in question: the author emphasizes the "usual anti-EU stance" of Orbán, who, with his visit to Moscow after taking of the presidency of the Council of the EU, wanted to "create the impression of a lack of unity among the member states".
ECR has challenged Orban to prove to the EU institutions that he wants to rejoin the pro-European arch - "Pro-Europe, pro-democracy, pro-Ukraine".
These are the demands raised repeatedly by Ursula von der Leyen to enter the halls of power of the EU./ Taken from "Eunews"
