Karl Nehammer, the Austrian Chancellor, recently met with Péter Magyar, leader of Hungary's Tisza Party, during a gathering in a Budapest restaurant. This meeting coincided with the European Political Community summit held in the city. According to Nehammer, such meetings align with the People’s Party tradition of connecting with like-minded political groups during official visits to other EU member states. The chancellor notably described the Tisza Party as a "strong party," emphasizing its rising influence in Hungary's political landscape.
The discussions between Nehammer and Magyar primarily focused on strengthening relations between Austria and Hungary, as well as enhancing bilateral political, economic, and cultural cooperation. They also touched upon key European issues such as the necessity for stringent EU regulations against illegal migration and the unified diplomatic efforts needed to resolve the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Magyar expressed agreement on these points, underscoring the Tisza Party's position within the European People’s Party faction in the European Parliament, which also includes Nehammer's Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP).
