I don’t get how EPP got idealised by the media so much. I mean, I get it, media serve big business, and so does EPP. Orban/Fidesz was in EPP for years and they were fine with that. Polish PSL (which would would be rightly called fascists by anyone who took a moment to look at what they represent) are still in EPP. EPP were always neoliberal brand of conservatives and have been behaving exactly as expected. I hate EPP with passion if it wasn’t apparent by now.
