Orban proposes a resolution on the assassination of Trump, the European
European Parliament

The European Parliament has rejected a far-right proposal to discuss the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and growing political violence in the EU legislature, writes Politico.

Orbán's Patriots for Europe group called for a debate on the assassination of Trump and called for a resolution condemning the violence. The proposal was rejected with 337 votes against, 119 in favor and 15 abstentions.

Another far-right group, Europe of Sovereign Nations, voted in favor, as did the far-right European Conservatives and Reformists group, which includes Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's MEPs.

"Patriots for Europe today proposed a debate in the European Parliament on the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump and the rise of political violence in Europe, but traditional groups rejected it," wrote the Patriots group in a post on social networks.

Patriots for Europe was formed last month and is the third largest group in the European Parliament. It consists of MEPs from the parties of Viktor Orban and Marine Le Pen.

The center-right European People's Party, the Socialists and Democrats, the liberal Renewal of Europe, the Greens and the Left voted against discussing the assassination.

"We will not give a platform to the enemies of democracy, we believe that a cordon sanitaire is necessary for all far-right groups in parliament to prevent them from anti-democratic views becoming mainstream," said leftist group co-chair Martin Širdevan told Politico.

"We had an agreement between the political groups not to add any debate to this plenary session, other than support for Ukraine," an EPP spokesperson told Politico.

"The left-liberal majority in the European Parliament does not want to condemn the assassination attempt on Donald Trump," the group's first vice-president Kinga Gal, a member of the European Parliament from Orban's Fidesz party, wrote on social media after the vote.

Far-right Belgian MP and Patriot member Tom Vandendrische also expressed anger at the rejected proposal, calling it "hypocrisy".

"The anger about the attack on democracy seems to be quite selective in the European Parliament," he said.
