Hungary's Fidesz leaves EPP political umbrella
By EUobserver
Two weeks after Hungary's ruling Fidesz party's MEPs left the largest group in the European Parliament, the European People's Party, the party itself left the larger political family - also called the EPP. Hungarian minister Katalin Novak published a letter to EPP leadership about the move, saying "It's time to say goodbye". It marks on end to an over two-year ideological battle between Fidesz and a majority of EPP members.
