Orban's party : EPP consists of the membership of Fidesz

the membership of The national Hungarian Fidesz party in the European people's party (EPP) is for the time being put on ice. A Commission of experts under the leadership of the former EU-Ratschefs Herman Van Rompuy will now be able to decide when and whether the member rights of the party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will be back in power as EPP chief Joseph Daul said on Twitter. 190 of 194 delegates voted for an EPP Board meeting on Wednesday for the proposal, three disagreed. An outlet of Orban's party seems averted for the time being.

Earlier, Orban had obtained, that the proposal of the EPP-lace - a vote was taken on the ultimately - again in his spirit was changed. In the new version it was said that the EPP Bureau and Fidesz have agreed to work together to ensure that Fidesz let its membership up to the end of the report rest. Previously, it had welcomed in the proposal, Fidesz would be suspended, without its own participation, but voluntary on his voting rights and not to party events to attend.

During the meeting, the CDU appealed to the Director Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer to Orban, the initial proposal of the EPP. "The proposal is a bridge to restore lost trust," said Kramp-Karrenbauer, according to information from the German press-Agency groups of Participants. There is no proposal should be excluded, with the Fidesz from the EPP. Rather, the party of Orban's had to rebuild trust.

Orban had declared according to this information, he could not accept the proposal of the EPP-tip as he was lying on the table. Deputy party leader Gergely Gulyas had been announced prior to the decision in the case of a suspension: "In such a case, the party enters immediately from the EPP." But he was limited, would leave the EPP, the question of the exclusion of the "three Wise men" to examine, then, the Hungarian party would make their membership for the duration of this test, "voluntarily" dormant. Due to the Changes to the Text he has achieved this goal.

the body of the Weisenrats under the leadership of Van Rompuy's is part of the proposal. It is to assess whether Fidesz fulfilled in the long term, the criteria for membership in the EPP.

Orban, agitated, again and again sharply against the EU

critics accuse Orban in Hungary since the years of democracy and the rule of law to undermine, to bring critical media to Silence and weaken the Opposition by repressive measures such as arbitrary fines. Orban was also the last with its Anti-Brussels campaign in the criticism.

The decision was made two months before the European elections, the EPP tricky. On the one hand, Fidesz could be missing votes after the election, if want to apply for the CSU Deputy chief Manfred Weber, the EPP for the office of President of the European Commission; this applies, in particular, when Orban together with right-wing populist parties such as the Italian Lega or the Polish PiS. On the other hand, the duration of the dispute over values, the EU could damage the skepticism of the party in the election.
