Lakós Eszter, a Tisza representative, has been elected vice-president of the European People’s Party group in the European Parliament. She secured the second-highest vote total among the candidates in the ballot. The result gives the Hungarian opposition party a place in the leadership of the center-right parliamentary group. Her new role adds a Tisza voice to the EPP caucus’s political and organizational work. The appointment places one of Hungary’s newer parliamentary parties in a senior position within the EPP. The announcement did not specify when her term begins or how the vice-presidencies will be divided.
