Hungarian Premier Viktor Orban told
the nation's State radio on Friday that he wants to hold talks
with League leader Matteo Salvini and Polish Prime Minister
Mateusz Morawiecki on the creation of a new nationalist group in
the European Parliament, Bloomberg reported.
Orban's Fidesz party recently left the centre-right European
People's Party (EPP).
Salvini, whose party is backing Premier Mario Draghi's broad
coalition government, said talks with Orban were not a priority
at the moment.
"I am dealing in a highly concrete way with (COVID-19) vaccines
and reimbursements (for lost revenue) to Italian firms," Salvini
told reporters when asked about what Orban had said.
"We'll talk about what happens in Europe further down the line.
"What is urgent for me is the vaccines, reimbursements and the
health of the Italian people, nothing else".
