Officials from Marine Le Pen’s movement are in advanced talks with other far-right groups in the European Parliament that could see her party abandon its current political family to join forces with Hungary’s Viktor Orban .

Members of Le Pen ’s Identity and Democracy group, which was set up in 2019 to represent far-right and extreme nationalist views across the bloc, plan to meet with EU allies the day after France’s election concludes this weekend to discuss the party’s future, according to a person directly involved in the talks.
