As patriotic forces, we are going to work together in order to retake our institutions and reorient policies to serve our nations and peoples.”
First Vice-President Kinga Gál added:
“The European elections have clearly shown that a preponderant number of voters want European borders to be protected again. They cherish freedom and peace. They are in favour of European cooperation, but not of an EU that acts beyond its competences and punishes member states for carrying out their own policies. We will be their voice for the next five years.”
