The main center-right family in the European parliament does not want its members to appear publicly alongside far-right lawmakers, even if they align with them in voting within the European Parliament.
According to officials from the European People's Party, the group led by German Manfred Weber is considering sanctions against Slovenian MEP Branko Grims, after he took part in an event involving members of the far right Patriots for Europe (PfE) and Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) groups, as well as the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR).
