Weber says Viktor Orban's Fidesz party suspended

(ANSA-AP) - BRUSSELS, 20 MAR - Manfred Weber, leader of center-right EPP alliance in European Parliament, says Viktor Orban's Fidesz party is suspended. Previously, Hungary's ruling Fidesz party said it will immediately leave the main center-right alliance in the European Parliament if the group votes to suspend it, the Hungarian prime minister's chief of staff said Wednesday. "We cannot agree to a compromise that limits our freedom and restricts our policy of rejecting immigration," Gergely Gulyas, Orban's chief of staff, said in Brussels. "This matter also relates to the honor of Fidesz and the country." (ANSA-AP).
