BERLIN (Reuters) - The Alternative for Germany (AFD) joined forces with other far-right parties to form a third far-right party alliance in the European Parliament on Wednesday, a group member said.
The Europe of Sovereign Nations group will take its place alongside the Patriots for Europe group led by France's National Rally and the Fidesz party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Italy's Georgia Meloni, who leads the Conservatives and Reformers (ECR) group, lost members to the Patriots last week.
