Far-right camp in the EU Parliament: New factions for Orban and the AfD

The far-right camp in the EU Parliament is undergoing a restructuring process after the European elections. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France's right-wing populists, led by Marine Le Pen, have formed a new faction that is expected to become the third-largest force in the newly elected Parliament.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has also announced the formation of its own faction. These right-wing parties will have access to funding, speaking time, and important positions in Parliament.

Orban's faction, 'Patriots for Europe', consists of various parties, including Italy's Lega and Spain's Vox, with a total of 84 members. They advocate for stricter immigration policies and reducing the power of the EU institutions.

The second-largest right-wing faction, the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), includes parties such as Italy's Brothers of Italy and Poland's Law and Justice (PiS). The AfD's new faction, 'Europe of Sovereign Nations' (ENS), comprises right-wing extremist parties from eight EU countries and provides the AfD with more speaking time and seats on specialized committees.

While these factions may have an impact on certain debates in the European Parliament, they do not have a majority and are unlikely to influence major legislation, which is usually supported by centrist parties.
