TV Nova | Patriots for Europe recruiting new parties for political group status in the European Parliament

Andrej Babiš's dream of establishing a new political party in the European Parliament is coming true and it looks like the new grouping could shuffle the political cards. A number of strong parties have expressed interest in membership and it could happen that even the strongest far-right party could be formed. In addition to ANO movement MEPs two other from Přísaha a Motoristé sobě coalition could also join the party. Martin Vokálek, executive director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the formation and influence of the possible new group for the main evening broadcast on TV Nova.

In my opinion, they will build the faction as such, but the faction itself will really be on the fringes of the political spectrum in the European Parliament. It will have almost zero coalition potential.
