Following the withdrawal of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party from the EPP, the foundations have been laid for the creation of a “common and unique” house that will house the political parties of the Traditional right core which at the centre of their political narrative is the defence of the institutions of the Christian religion and the protection of the traditional family, respectively.

Within this framework, three leading European right-wing leaders are expected to meet in Budapest-Hungary to lead their political forces under the cover of a new coalition of right-wing forces.
The three leading European figures of the traditional Right in Europe whose ideological views and political positions converge are Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban (Fidesz), Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Jakub Morawiecki (Law and Justice (PiS)), the leader of the Italian League of the North, Mateo Salvini, as well as Marion Le Pen who is expected to participate in the 2022 Presidential French elections will take part in this coalition with a solemn speech.
The political parties of these European leaders may belong to different political groups in the European Parliament e.g., the Italian League of the North belongs to the political group “Identity and Democracy”, the party (PiS) is a member of the “European Conservatives and Reformists”, Fidesz left the EPP, but in total they have 139 seats in the European Parliament and if all 12 Fidesz MEPs are added, then the total number of their MEPs will reach 151.
If they are consolidated in their political discourse and ideology, this new group will be the strongest since the EPP, whose strength in MEPs will be 175.
The political geography reclassifications will be strong as the new coalition will act as a magnet for other parties of the same ideology in each EU member country.
It is highly likely that in the next European elections in 2024 this new coalition will take the lead. In this case, however, the consequences for the EU itself and the policy it will follow on the migration problem will be significant and chained.
