PVV joins
new radical right-wing alliance "Patriots for Europe" in Brussels
The PVV is
joining Patriots for Europe in the European Parliament, the new political party
co-founded by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, party leader Geert Wilders
announced on X. The PVV won six seats in last month's European elections.
"We are
PVV-patriots, we love our nation. Strong and sovereign. Resisting illegal
immigration," Wilders wrote on X. We defend peace and freedom. He also
described himself as a defender of peace and freedom and the Dutch
"Judeo-Christian tradition."
Wilders'
statement, in which he also emphasized his support for Ukraine, came on the day
Orbán was in Moscow to discuss peace with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The
Hungarian prime minister did so without including Ukraine, the neighboring
country against which Russia started a war in February 2022. The Cabinet,
co-founded by the PVV, expressed concerns about this on Friday.
In addition
to Orbán's Fidesz party, the ANO, the party of Czech ex-prime minister Andrej
Babiš, is also involved in the formation of Patriots for Europe, as is the
Austrian FPÖ. Right-wing extremist parties in other countries have also already
shown their interest in the controversial party in the European Parliament.
