Nowa odsłona konfliktu wokół członkostwa Fidesz w EPL w kontekście epidemii koronawirusa
The new turn in the conflict over Fidesz’s EPP membership in the context of the coronavirus outbreak

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the latest turn in the conflict over the status of Fidesz in the Christian political family in the European Union (EPP). It includes a presentation of the political scene of the European Parliament after the 2019 elections and Brexit and the play of interests between the factions operating on it, the national parties within them and the EU Member States. The EU political scene has been divided into the camp of continuation of the current model of European integration, the camp of reform – contesting the direction of integration but not the integration itself, and the camp of destruction, wanting the disintegration of the EU. The effects of a possible exit of Fidesz from the EPP were analysed in terms of their impact on the balance of power between the above-mentioned camps, between political families and their factions in the EP, as well as in terms of the interests of national parties and EU Member States. The conclusion is a forecast of a low probability of Fidesz’s removal from the EPP by the end of 2020.
