Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is hosting Alice Weidel, the Alternative for Germany party's candidate for chancellor, a rare meeting between a European leader and Germany’s far-right party.

Alice Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party, called Hungary and its Prime Minister Viktor Orbán "an example for AfD", after talks with Orbán in Budapest on Wednesday, according to MTI.

Emboldened by his 'dear friend' US President Donald Trump's return to power, Hungary's nationalist leader has vowed to 'occupy Brussels' by bringing together far-right parties in the European Parliament.
