Politico: Hungary won’t support von der Leyen’s reappointment as Commission president

Hungary won’t support von der Leyen’s reappointment as Commission president, but is fine with all the other names in the top jobs package, Hungarian EU Affairs Minister János Bóka said, Report informs referring to Politico.

Orbán met one-on-one with Meloni, the hard-right European Conservatives and Reformist’s top player, earlier on June 17. Nonetheless, Bóka insisted, Orbán still hasn’t made a decision about whether he’ll make a play to join the ECR or the far-right Identity and Democracy group in the European Parliament.

“There is a need for a new political right,” Bóka said, pointing to the EU election results. The existing parties might need “restructuring,” and “it’s very difficult to imagine this restructuring on the right without Fidesz,” the minister added.
