The membership of Hungary’s Fidesz party in the European People’s Party (EPP) group could be suspended until trust is rebuilt, German conservative leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has said. “As long as Fidesz does not fully restore trust, there cannot be normal full membership,” Kramp-Karrenbauer, a confidante of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, told Reuters on Wednesday. A membership “freeze” would be an option, according to the leader of Germany’s CDU party. Conservative European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker told German radio that he advised the center-right EPP bloc to kick out the Fidesz party, which is led by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
