Former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will return to Brussels next week for the first time since his election defeat, attending a summit of Patriots for Europe leaders — the far-right alliance he helped establish.
Orbán will join other Patriots leaders — including Andrej Babiš, Czechia's prime minister—on 17 June for the group's traditional gathering ahead of the European Council summit on 18–19 June, his spokesperson Bertalan Havasi told Euronews.
Hungary will be represented at the summit by its new prime minister, Péter Magyar, marking the country's first participation in the meeting without Orbán in nearly two decades.
