Marine Le Pen was in Hungary on Tuesday October 26 to meet Viktor Orban. The Hungarian Prime Minister rolled out the red carpet to the President of the National Gathering.

Glass of champagne, working lunch, police escort and strong handshake, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban pulled out all the stops for Marine Le Pen, who came to Budapest (Hungary), in search of international legitimacy. For the candidate of the National Rally, this meeting comes very opportunely, a few weeks after Eric Zemmour’s trip to the same place. His meeting with the Hungarian Prime Minister was not official, a difference in treatment that Marine Le Pen was quick to point out.

On the program, there was even a joint press conference, during which Marine Le Pen did not hesitate to return the lift to her ultraconservative host and slayer of immigration. “You made the courageous choice to preserve your beautiful country from the migratory flooding that the European Union wants to organize”, she said. Outpaced in some polls by Eric Zemmour, Marine Le Pen has every interest in appearing alongside Viktor Orban. The previous week, she was present alongside the Polish Prime Minister, also ultra-conservative.
