Some of the continent’s top right-wing politicians including Italy’s Giorgia Meloni are seeking to bring Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban into their political family, in a bid to reshape their pan-European party into a legitimate force in Brussels.

The Italian premier and former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki have met with Orban in the past few weeks to discuss his Fidesz party joining the European Conservatives and Reformists group, according to people familiar with the negotiations. In the talks, both Meloni and Morawiecki issued a clear caveat: the outspoken Hungarian leader would need to moderate some of his positions.
