Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is in talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán about his Smer party potentially joining Patriots for Europe (PfE). This move follows Smer's expulsion from the Party of European Socialists last week due to breaches of values. If confirmed, Smer would join the far-right group in the European Parliament, increasing PfE’s seat count to 91. Both Fico and Orbán share similar stances on migration, opposition to the Green Deal, and anti-LGBTQ+ positions. The Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš is also a member of Patriots for Europe. While discussions are ongoing, Fico has stated that Smer will carefully consider all offers from European Parliament factions.
