MPs from Marine Le Pen's pro-Russian political party may leave her Identity and Democracy faction in the European Parliament and join Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's alliance. Bloomberg writes about it, UNN reports.
Details
According to the newspaper, members of Identity and Democracy plan to meet with EU allies the day after the French elections this weekend, July 6-7. They want to discuss future factions in the European Parliament.
Several members of the faction are discussing the possibility of joining the new alliance announced this week by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In particular, Le Pen herself said that her party would consider possible alliances after the elections.

The publication emphasizes that currently the Identity and Democracy faction is on the verge of collapse - it will cease to exist if at least one member leaves.
Addendum
Analysts also admit that right-wing radicals from Austria, the Czech Republic, and Italy may also join Orban's faction.
According to Bloomberg, to be officially recognized, a faction must consist of at least seven countries.
Recall
French politician Jordan Bardella, president of Marine Le Pen's National Rally party, said he favors providing Ukraine with the ammunition it needs for self-defense. However, the official does not support the transfer of equipment and weapons to Kyiv to prevent escalation.
