Last-minute additions from Czechia and Greece have strengthened the new group to 84 MEPs from 12 nations, making it the EP’s third-largest.

The right-wing ‘Patriots for Europe’ parliamentary faction was inaugurated in Brussels on Monday, July 8th. Top positions were divided among various populist parties, an obvious indication that Europe’s nationalist parties are seeking cooperation.

The new group has been in the works since before June’s European elections and includes Le Pen’s Rassemblement National, Hungary’s Fidesz, and the Austrian FPÖ—a grand total of 13 participatory parties.

A five-item meeting to decide on top positions for the parliamentary faction concluded faster than expected in the Spinelli Building of the European Parliament in Brussels shortly after 3 p.m. Group chairmanship was assigned to leading Rassemblement National (RN) MEP Jordan Bardella, fresh from his thwarted bid to become France’s prime minister during last week’s legislative elections.

Bardella is joined at the helm by Fidesz MEP Kinga Gál, who takes up the vice presidency of the Patriots group, while Danish populist MEP Anders Vistisen was given the role of party whip.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the Patriots group now includes a Greek delegation, following a decision by the Voice of Reason party to join the faction after resigning from the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR). 

VOX’s Jorge Buxadé denied that there were lingering tensions between the Spanish populist party and Fratelli’s Giorga Meloni after his party also made the shock decision to split with the Italians and their ECR group last week.

Another unexpected addition is two MEPs from the Czech Oath and Motorists, who overcame hesitation about joining the faction despite the membership of the rival political party of Andrej Babiš’ ANO.

Speaking at a press conference after the day’s meeting, RN MEP Jean-Paul Garraud praised the ability of parties to overcome differences to coalesce as he expressed hope that the European Right could now “retake the institutions” within Brussels.

This was complemented by a statement from Fidesz MEP and Patriots Vice Chair Kinga Gál, who said voters were “in favour of European cooperation, but not of an EU that acts beyond its competences.”

The Patriots for Europe is now the leading faction within the European Right—despite Polish Law & Justice’s (PiS) decision against joining—ahead of the conservative ECR, and an as-of-yet unformed grouping that would be led by the German AfD under the working name ‘Europe of Sovereign Nations.’ 

A challenge for the Patriots in the coming months will be the handing out of influential committee positions within the EU Parliament, where right-wingers are traditionally cordoned away from taking key roles.

Patriots officials were keen to focus on what unites the group and set aside potential division over foreign policy, particularly the Ukrainian war. Prevision rifts between Scandinavian parties and more NATO-critical parties, led by the AfD, has haunted the Parliament’s nationalist ID group in recent years, with Franco-German office politics and the perceived radicalism of the German AfD resulting in a schism in May.

The first meeting of the EU Parliament is chalked in for July 16th as centrist and socialist MEPs attempt to reelect Commission President Ursula von der Leyen despite five years of scandal and flawed crisis management.

Chinese troops will be operating near the Polish border during military exercises with Belarus.

The Chinese Ministry of National Defense announced on Sunday that the military forces of China and Belarus will conduct joint exercises named Eagle Assault-2024 near Brest, Belarus, close to the Polish border. These exercises, set to run until mid-July, are part of an annual plan and an agreement between the two nations.

Participants from both sides will engage in mixed training exercises and practical tasks such as hostage rescue and anti-terrorism operations. The goal is to enhance the training level of the soldiers involved and deepen the pragmatic cooperation between the two countries’ armies, according to the Chinese Ministry of National Defense.

Meanwhile, the Belarusian Ministry of Defense reported that personnel from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China have arrived in Belarus to participate in the joint anti-terrorism exercises scheduled until July 19.

International affairs expert Radosław Pyffel commented on the situation, suggesting that while the exercises might be routine, they could potentially lead to various outcomes such as de-escalation or other unintended consequences beyond the immediate concerns of Poland, Belarus, and Russia.

“Chinese troops have never been so close to the Polish border in history,” noted a Chinese affairs expert, emphasizing the unprecedented nature of this development. Even if these maneuvers are seen as a minor military move, they introduce new variables that will likely need to be considered in future strategic calculations.

“Welcome to the new world,” Pyffel concluded, highlighting the evolving dynamics of international relations in the region.

The Hungarian Prime Minister visited China and is in the United States for the third and fourth stops of his peace mission.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán continued his peace mission with a trip to China before moving on to the United States on Monday, July 8th. After visiting Kyiv and Moscow last week, he headed to the capitals of the two global powers, who—in the prime minister’s words—have the ability to influence the outcome of the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Hungary assumed the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union on July 1st, and Orbán is using this role to promote his “peace mission,” an attempt to bring the war in Ukraine to an end. Though the prime minister made it clear that he is not mandated to hold talks on behalf of the other EU member states, he said he would like to find out how far Ukraine and Russia were willing to go—and update fellow EU member states on his findings.

Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Hungary has been the only EU member state to  call for a ceasefire and peace talks instead of prolonging the war by sending weapons to Ukraine. As we recently reported, Orbán visited both Kyiv and Moscow last week in an attempt to talk to both participants in the war that has now raged for almost two-and-a-half years. He was criticised by EU leaders for talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stating that “appeasement will not stop Putin.”

However, Balázs Orbán, the prime minister’s political advisor (not related to Viktor Orbán) said in an interview on Sunday that Hungary’s EU presidency provides a good opportunity to open the communication channels between the parties of the war. Unveiling the agenda of the presidency in June, Hungarian EU Affairs Minister János Bóka said “the EU has to guarantee the security and peace of Europe, and every one of our priorities will be interpreted within this framework.”

In a short video uploaded to his X account after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the prime minister said:

Of course, the warring parties have the last word in the war, but three world powers have a decisive influence: China, the United States and the European Union. They also influence when this war will end.

In Beijing, Orbán said he had discussed with Xi the Chinese peace plan, saying “China is the only world power that has been clearly committed to peace from the beginning.” China’s and Brazil’s road map states that “dialogue and negotiation are the only viable way out of the crisis.” China did not attend a Western-backed peace summit held in Switzerland last month, saying it is meaningless to hold such a conference without the participation of one of the warring factions, Russia. According to AP reporting, Xi followed his meeting with Orbán by calling on Russia and Ukraine to stop the fighting—and on other major powers to create an environment conducive to talks.

“China has a peace plan. America has a war policy. And Europe, instead of having its own strategic approach, is simply copying the American position,” Viktor Orbán told German daily Die Welt in an interview shortly before his trip to Beijing.

After visiting Beijing, Orbán flew straight to Washington, D.C., where he is set to attend the summit of NATO leaders, which begins on Tuesday. Member states plan to pledge to keep pouring arms and ammunition into Ukraine at current levels for at least another year. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance’s 32 member countries have been spending around €40 billion each year on military equipment for Ukraine since the war began and that this should be “a minimum baseline” going forward.

Before the summit, it was rumoured Orbán would meet former President Donald Trump who has claimed he could end the war within 24 hours of moving back into the White House. Orbán openly supports Trump’s presidential candidacy, and has stated that the former president would bring back peace to Ukraine. “Prime Minister Orbán, like my father, wants to see PEACE brought back to the world. Enough of the constant wars and the endless sums of money to fund them. …  Peace must be the ultimate goal,” Donald Trump Jr.—Trump’s son, who recently visited Budapest—posted on X.

Hungarian analyst Gábor Török called Orbán’s “peace mission” an international success story, adding that the prime minister is able to take advantage of the fact that Hungary is holding the EU Presidency. “The calculated and precisely delivered attacks really only strengthen him now … meanwhile, a strong faction is being created [in the European Parliament] that the international press clearly associates with the name of the Hungarian Prime Minister,” Gábor Török writes.

The Nigerian also bit one officer, attacked another, and left three others with injuries, but the prosecutors refuse to charge him.

Following a growing wave of stabbing attacks across Germany perpetrated by migrants, a Nigerian migrant has added to the growing toll of victims, this time stabbing three officers in 16 hours in the city of Karlsruhe.

The 36-year-old Nigerian is still at large after three different attacks, targeting various officers in the span of 18 hours. Despite the serious crimes, the man is still at large.

On Friday, at 12:45 p.m., the man grabbed a 9-year-old boy at the main station in Karlsruhe in the state of Baden-Würtemberg, located in the southwest of Germany. Police intervened to save the boy, and the African man bit one of the officers, while three police suffered abrasions during the scuffle.

Then, 13 hours later, the same man wanted to travel without a ticket and got on a night train at 1:50 a.m. When police officers confronted him over his illegal action, the situation quickly escalated.

“The man put up considerable resistance and repeatedly stabbed the officers from behind with the blade of a cutter knife,” said a police spokeswoman. One of the officers was stabbed in the head, arm and hand, while another officer was cut on his leg. Both police officers were treated in the hospital and are unable to work while they recover from their injuries.

Despite attempts to charge the man, the public prosecutor released the Nigerian.

He immediately went back to riding the train without purchasing a ticket, and on Saturday at 7 a.m., a police spokeswoman described how he once again attacked a federal police officer when he was stopped.

“During the police check, the 36-year-old suddenly attacked a federal police officer, grabbing him by the arm. The suspect was brought to the ground and temporarily arrested.”

The man was simply released by a public prosecutor even after the officers applied for an arrest warrant twice. Both requests were rejected for unknown reasons. Attempts by Bild newspaper to reach the prosecutor’s officer to explain why the man was not held in custody and charged were unsuccessful.

The man remains on the streets despite the crime spree. According to BILD information, the federal police officers in Karlsruhe informed their superiors. Now they hope that another public prosecutor will take on the case on Monday.

Officers have increasingly become victims of stabbing attacks perpetrated by migrants. The attack comes after a wave of knife attacks in Germany and violent incidents involving foreigners, with perhaps the most prominent case involving an Islamic Afghan knife attacker who managed to stab a German police officer to death in Mannheim. The known Islamist had lived in Germany illegally for eight years, according to police sources.

Shortly after that attack, Germany’s governing left-liberal government signaled they want to bring in more migrants from Syria and Afghanistan at a summit on migration.

Just days later, an Afghan migrant attacked police officers with a long-bladed weapon at a bus stop in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

On June 30, an Iranian migrant stabbed a police officer trainee in Lauf an der Pegnitz, who was saved by his protective vest.
