France's National Rally (RN) will lead the European Parliament's third-largest alliance, Patriots for Europe, forged by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the group announced on Monday, reported France 24.
Austria's far-right Freedom Party, Fidesz and the populist Czech ANO party led by Andrej Babis had already agreed to join forces, citing the fight against illegal immigration, as well as transferring more powers from Brussels back to member states as the new alliance's goals.
With the addition of RN's 30 members, the Patriots will pose a challenge to the centre-right European People's Party (EPP), which supports Ursula von der Leyen for a second term as European Commission President.
