UPDATE:
On Wednesday, the EPP's political assembly decided not to expel Fidesz, but rather adopted the proposal of the Presidency that suspended the membership rights of Fidesz until further notice, and placed it under the surveillance of an "Evaluation Committee" comprised of the former president of the European Council, Belgian Herman Van Rompuy, Austrian Wolfgang Schüssel, and German Hans-Gert Pöttering.
This committee of "three wise men" was set up to monitor if Fidesz is abiding by the three demands Manfred Weber set forth and if the Hungarian party's policies are compliant with the principles contained in the emergency resolution adopted at the EPP's Helsinki Congress last November. The resolution adopted to protect EU values emphasises the importance of the values of liberal democracy, the very thing Orbán sworn to replace with his "illiberal" system. The decision lists Weber's demands:
"The posters and other advertising materials used to run a fake news campaign against President Jean-Claude Juncker must be withdrawn immediately;
FIDESZ must understand that this campaign has caused considerable political damage. The EPP expects FIDESZ to fully recognise this and to refrain from these attacks in the future;
Freedom of expression, of science and education are fundamental to us. Therefore, the pending legal issues regarding the Central European University must be clarified."

This is pretty much the same situation as with the Austrians People's Party (ÖVP) temporary suspension was in 2000, and one of the members of the current evaluating commitee is the one who lead that party at the time. The irony was not lost on Orbán:
