Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said he thinks it impossible that Russian President Vladimir Putin would attack a NATO country. "No serious person can speak of Russia intending to attack NATO," Orbán told the German newspaper Bild in an interview released on Monday.

Orbán said that all NATO countries stand behind their promise of collective security, which means that an attack on one NATO ally is an attack all. The Russians have a diff...

A new far-right alliance in the European Parliament, launched just a week ago by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has enough parties to achieve group status. The Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), Belgium's Vlaams Belang and the Danish People's Party announced their intention to join the alliance over the weekend. Their declaration means seven countries are now represented in the alliance called Patriots for Europe, an important condition to form a parliamentary group in the EU legislature. As well as representing a quarter of EU countries, a political group must have 23 EU legislators, acco...

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in Vienna on Sunday an alliance with populist parties from Austria and the Czech Republic at the EU level, dubbed Patriots for Europe, to form a new far-right group in the European Parliament.

From July 1, Hungary will hold the EU presidency until the end of 2024.

While each EU country fights tooth and nail for its own interests, when they take over the Council presidency they are meant to put their politics aside to take on a more neutral role. During a press conference on June 18 in Budapest, Hungarian Minister for European Affairs János Bóka stressed that the country will be "an honest intermediary." Looking back:...
