The European People's Party (EPP) suspended Hungary's ruling Fidesz party until further notice, EPP President Joseph Daul said in a tweet on Wednesday.

The announcement followed a vote in the EPP assembly in Brussels bringing together delegates from its member parties. The decision was passed with 190 in favor and 3 against.

"The suspension entails: No attendance at any party meeting; No voting rights; No right to propose candidates for posts," Daul tweeted.

The main center-right grouping in the European Parliament has had trouble with Fidesz, a long-term EPP member. Several EPP member parties have criticized Fidesz for not complying with the group's values and rules.

A week earlier, senior EPP leader Manfred Weber visited Budapest and tried to solve the problems with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Weber wanted Orban and his Fidesz party to stop his government's anti-EU campaign, let the Central European University (CEU) founded by U.S.-Hungarian billionaire George Soros stay in Budapest, and apologize to other EPP member parties.

Weber said his talks with Orban had been constructive but "problems are not yet solved."
