French far-right leader Marine Le Pen and 15 of her allies in Europe, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, issued a "joint declaration" on Friday, describing it as "the cornerstone" of an alliance in the European Parliament aimed at "Reforming Europe," as they put it.

The signatories to the declaration published on the website of the National Rally party, led by Le Pen, “At a time when the advocates of globalization and Europeanism, and their main representative in France, Emmanuel Macron, launch the Conference on the Future of Europe, which aims to increase the power of European bodies, today’s agreement is the cornerstone towards the formation of a broad coalition in the European Parliament."

Among the signatories are Marine Le Pen, Italian League leader Matteo Salvini, Hungarian Prime Minister and Chairman of Fidesz Party Viktor Orban, Polish Law and Justice party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Spain's Vox party leader Santiago Abascal and Fratelli d'Italia party Leader Giorgia Meloni.

The signatory parties are not part of the same groups in the European Parliament. Both the National Rally and the Italian League belong to the Identity and Democracy group, while the Law and Justice, Vox, and Fratelli d'Italia parties belong to the Conservative and Reformist groups. Fidesz, which split from the European People's Party group in March, is looking for new partners.

In a separate announcement, Marine Le Pen, whose party is holding a conference Saturday and Sunday, said that the document is "the basis of a common cultural and political action that respects the role of current policy groups," stressing that the need for "deep reform of the European Union lest the creation of a major European state."

The 16 signatories considered that the European Union "continues to follow the federal path that inevitably distances it from the people who are the beating heart of our civilization."

“The most influential national parties on the continent recognized the importance of joining forces to enhance their relevance in discussions and reform of the European Union,” they added.
