It is an excellent achievement that with Kinga Gal, the European People’s Party, after three years, has a Hungarian vice-chairman again. Gal has been elected with an absolute majority of the general assembly. As a representative of Fidesz party, originating from the ethnic Hungarian community in Transylvania (Romania), she represents not only the governing party of Hungary in the EPP, but the issue of ethnic minorities too.
