Of the 720 lawmakers in the European Parliament, 86 are a part of the Patriots, making it the third largest political group.
Over in the European Council, the Patriots are currently only represented by Orbán but that could change with the current shift of political power across Europe. Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ), which is part of the Patriots, is in government coalition negotiations, with its leader Herbert Kickl on course to become the country’s chancellor.
Meanwhile, National Rally’s Le Pen is at the top of polls in France and could score the presidency in the 2027 election, while the Czech Republic’s anti-establishment ANO party and its leader Andrej Babiš are on course to lead the country after October’s national election.
