Deputy Premier and Transport Minister
Matteo Salvini said Monday that there is a good chance of his
League party accepting the invitation to join Hungarian Prime
Minister Viktor Orban's new alliance of 'Patriots for Europe'.
The alliance so far features Orban's Fidesz, Austria's
right-wing Freedom Party (FPO) and Czech populist group ANO.
"Joining those who are putting jobs, the family and the future
of young people at the centre seems the right road to me,"
Salvini told Rai radio.
"It's what the League has been calling for for some time.
"We are examining all the documents, but it seems the right road
to me".
The League is currently in the Identity and Democracy (ID) group
at the EU level which also features Marine Le Pen's National
Rally (RN) and which the FPO had belonged to up to now.
Orban's Fidesz has not been in a European group after pulling
out of the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) EPP two
years ago
