Watch: Hungary's Ruling Fidesz Party MEPs Quit EPP Group, Slam Changes To Statutes Hungary Matters MEPs of Hungary's ruling Fidesz party have quit the European People's Party (EPP) group after it approved an amendment to the umbrella party's rules at a group meeting. The EPP group voted on Wednesday to change the group’s statutes to make it possible to suspend the membership of a whole group, not just individual MEP members, or to terminate membership collectively if the party group’s rules were seriously breached. Fidesz MEPs Kinga Gál and Tamás Deutsch said it was “unacceptable” that the EPP group had launched “hasty administrative manoeuvers” during the coronavirus epidemic that was “claiming the lives of thousands of European citizens every day, putting unprecedented pressure on our citizens and economies.”
