Hungary's ruling Fidesz party doesn't see much chance of working with the far-right group to be established in the European Parliament by Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.

"We respect the Italian deputy prime minister and the Italian government and the result, which made the Northern League Italy’s strongest party after the European Parliament election,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s chief of staff Gergely Gulyás told a press conference in Budapest on Thursday, according to Reuters.

“Nonetheless, I see not much chance for a cooperation on a party level or in a joint parliamentary group,” Gulyas said.

Fidesz is part of the center-right European People's Party, but its membership was suspended in March over concerns regarding the erosion of the rule of law under Orbán in Hungary, but also in reaction to the Hungarian government's anti-migration billboard campaign featuring Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, a senior member of the EPP.

After winning the European Parliament election in Hungary with some 52 percent of the votes, Orbán said his party would "work together with everyone who wants to stop migration." However, his top aide dismissed teaming up with Salvini, even though he has also taken a hard line against migration.

Gulyás also said that Orbán doesn’t support the EPP lead candidate for Commission president Manfred Weber, nor the Socialists & Democrats' candidate Frans Timmermans.

Orbán is against Weber is because he has offended the Hungarian electorate, Gulyás said. He linked Timmermans to George Soros, a Hungarian-American financier and philanthropist that Orbán has led a campaign against, accusing him of supporting uncontrolled migration to Europe.

However, in a potential goodwill gesture to the EPP, Hungary will indefinitely postpone the judicial restructuring that fueled Brussels' fears of further undermining judicial independence in the country.

Although the government believes that the draft law on the issue is in line with European standards and the rule of law, it wants to postpone its application until the international debate on it is "satisfactorily closed," Gulyás said.
