"The Patriots' and Fidesz delegation's stance is clear: we and the European majority who voted for us in the European parliamentary elections want European politics to change," Gál said.
The outgoing European Commission's "big mistake" was to force through the EU migration pact, said Kinga Gál.
The objectives of the group's members include preserving their homeland, culture, traditions and Christian heritage, said Kinga Gál.
Ukraine's decision to stop delivering crude to Hungary and Slovakia was an attempt to strong-arm those countries into changing their pro-peace stance on the war.
Kinga Gál said the new group aims to bring change to the European Union’s politics.
Kinga Gál said bad decisions had been made in Brussels over the past five years.
Kinga Gál warned that an aggravation of the conflict would have severe consequences, such as triggering a major migration wave towards Europe.
Kinga Gal told Hungarian journalists that Hungary condemned Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and stood by Ukraine in upholding its territorial integrity while providing humanitarian support “beyond its means”.
Kinga Gál called it “absurd” that the EP’s Committee on Foreign Affairs had proposed an investigation against Várhelyi in its annual report on the implementation of the EU’s common foreign and security policy.
Kinga Gál said the proposal would not strengthen but weaken the EU at a time when “it would be crucial to make the EU more efficient in tackling hardships caused by war, terrorism, and migration”.
Kinga Gál said Israel had the right to self-defense, and expressed sympathy with the victims’ families.
Kinga Gál said the delegation of ruling Fidesz condemns terrorism and recognizes Israel’s right to self-defense.
Balázs Hidvéghi said the EP has exaggerated the “insignificant issue” concerning visas whereas the authorities had already dealt with it.
