Orban slams EPP's 'power games' as Europe grapples with pandemic

Prime Minister Viktor Orban, in a "samizdat" letter published on his website on Thursday, slammed the European People's Party for "indulging itself in power games" while the rest of Europe fights "a life-and-death battle" against the coronavirus pandemic. "While we here in Hungary -- and other leaders in their own countries -- are literally fighting a life-and-death battle against the coronavirus, the EPP is indulging itself in power games within the bubble of bureaucrats in Brussels," the prime minister wrote. "This is unacceptable."
