The prime minister told the event that the party alliance had been established to make Europe strong again, Bertalan Havasi said. “We are on the right path to achieve our goal, currently ours is the third largest group in the EP and we have chances to become the strongest by the end of the current term,” Orbán said.

“Only the fortress of Brussels is left to be overtaken,”
