Magyar accused him of being a \u201cgood Fidesz propagandist\u201d who must have \u201cforgotten\u201d to mention that his political allies had painted the EPP as a pro-war party during the election campaign.Orb\u00e1n withdrew Fidesz from the EPP group in 2021, complaining of a \u201chostile\u201d attempt to \u201cmute and disable\u201d its lawmakers. On the same day, the group\u00a0changed its rules of procedure to allow for the definitive exclusion of the party after two years of suspension from meetings and ballots.No time to wasteThe Tisza Party, rapidly mobilised ahead of the elections by disgruntled former government insider Magyar, took seven of Hungary\u2019s 21 seats in the EU parliament on Sunday, reducing Fidesz\u2019s presence from 13 to 11. Two left-wingers and one ultra-nationalist now complete the Hungarian line-up.Magyar wasted no time in applying to join the largest group in the European Parliament, and promptly Weber signalled that its \u201cdoors are open\u201d to his newly elected MEPs. The EPP group plans to vote on the Tisza Party\u2019s admission on 18 June.\u201cThe KDNP has been a member of the EPP for more than 30 years,\u201d H\u00f6lv\u00e9nyi told Euronews yesterday when asked how he would react if the group were to admit a party whose stated aim is to bring an end to the Orb\u00e1n era in Hungary. \u201cThe fact that seven MEPs from the Tisza Party are coming here does not cause any change in our membership.\u201dH\u00f6lv\u00e9nyi stressed that the upcoming vote was about admitting Tisza to the parliamentary caucus in Brussels, not the pan-European political family of the EPP itself. \u201cJoining the party is a different and significantly longer process,\u201d he said in an email exchange.At the same time, a spokesperson\u00a0for the EPP dismissed the notion that H\u00f6lv\u00e9nyi might appear something of a cuckoo\u2019s egg in the group\u2019s parliamentary nest, especially if it admits a seven-strong group of MEPs nominally committed to the downfall of his political family in Hungary.\u201cHolvenyi is a\u00a0member of the KDNP and not from Fidesz, he has always stayed at the EPP, and the KDNP have always run in joint lists with Fidesz,\u201d EPP group spokesman Pedro L\u00f3pez de Pablo said.The KDNP has no veto over Tisza\u2019s admission, which will be decided by a simple majority vote, but \u201cthey certainly have influence\u201d, Lopez added, noting the group would simply follow its rules of procedure.Those rules of procedure state that non-EPP members can only be admitted to the parliamentary caucus \u201cif they subscribe to the political programme\u201d of the EPP group.This means pursuing \u2018the process of federal unification and integration in Europe\u2019 and subscribing to basic values such as \u2018freedom and democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and subsidiarity\u2019.As the EPP\u2019s victory in the elections became clear on Sunday night, its emboldened candidate for a second term as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen added \u201cpro-Ukraine\u201d to the list of values that other centrist groups must subscribe to if they want to form an alliance with her party.At an election rally in the eastern Hungarian city of Debrecen on 5 May, Magyar accused Fidesz of lying by presenting itself as the only party on the side of peace. Tisza, like Fidesz, would not allow the transport of artillery to Ukraine, Magyar said, then added: \u201cLet\u2019s say it again, so even they can hear: the warmonger and aggressor is Putin \u2013 he started this war. Ukraine\u2019s struggle to defend its territory is legitimate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic While the chair of the centre-right EPP is in talks with the new Hungarian opposition party about its seven newly elected MEPs joining the group, the leader of the Respect and Freedom (Tisza) Party has questioned the continued presence of an ally of Prime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":120404,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-120403","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120403"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120403\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120405,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120403\/revisions\/120405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
