Weak Showing Expected at Orbán's Weekend Far-Right Meeting: No Trumpists, Meloni's or Salvini's Parties Attending
In Brussels, the gathering of ultra-conservatives faced disruption, but this weekend in Budapest, far-right populists will be celebrating in what could be described as a more intimate family setting.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is set to host some of the most extreme elements of the Republican party in Hungary this week for the CPAC Hungary (Conservative Political Action Conference) event. These Republican representatives, who operate under the influence of former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump, voted last weekend to approve a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine. The package also included financial support for Israel and countries in the Far East fighting against Chinese influence. However, there were 17 Republican representatives who rejected all these aid packages it is from among these dissenters that Orbán's allies are drawn.
Andy Harris, a congressman from Maryland and a regular guest at Orbán's events similar to last year's star guest, Paul Gosar from Arizona is among those who will not support Ukraine or Israel. However, within this far-right group, there are those like Keith Self, a Texas congressman participating in this year's CPAC Hungary, who have expressed support for the state of Israel.
The week is expected to bring turbulent scenes within the Republican camp, with a motion supported by Paul Gosar to vote on the removal of Mike Johnson as the Republican House Speaker. Johnson had put the aid packages to vote and, along with a majority of Republicans, voted in favor. However, Johnson cautiously visited Trump at his Florida estate before the vote, who publicly supported him. This suggests that even Trump did not oppose the support for Ukraine.
Therefore, the American representatives meeting with Orbán have turned against Trump, their significant ally, openly signaling that they are part of a tiny minority within the Republican camp.
