The European Conservatives and Reformists party headed by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reinforced its bid to build the next European Parliament majority after it converged with the right-wing ID group to become the fifth-biggest in the European Parliament.
"It will not happen, the red lines are there. We are going to have the same lines after the elections," Bakolas said when asked if the EPP would form a coalition with the Conservatives to create a majority in the parliament.
The EPP is the largest party in the European Parliament, the European Council and in the current European Commission. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola are from the EPP.
