Marine Le Pen's party on Monday teamed up with the camp of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to launch a new far-right camp in the EU parliament, a day after being dealt a surprise defeat in French elections.
Jordan Bardella, Le Pen's 28-year-old lieutenant and chief of her National Rally (RN) party, will take the reins of the Patriots for Europe group, French lawmaker Jean-Paul Garraud said at its public launch in Brussels.
