Seriously. Who is the Hungarian government and what’s its their play in the EU?
They basically get their politicians bribed by the EU to have a buffer between Russia. But their politicians are also in Putins pocket so it’s like bribe war
The population isn’t seeing a cent of the EU bribe money and they’re pretty angry about it.
The EU citizens don’t understand why Hungarians are mad when they’re receiving so much money.
Isn’t another part of the problem is how rural the population is? With a population of 9m, only 1.7m live in Budapest, and the second biggest city is only 200k. The rural population only consumes Hungarian propaganda and doesn’t get any other perspective.
homelessness has been made a crime
Citizen: I can’t get a job which pays me enough to finance an apartment.
Government: Straight to jail!
It’s how they can provide housing in the most expensive and miserable way possible. The homeless have to go somewhere, and then they get to feel like they are punishing them instead of helping.
Victor Orban is a fascist and he’s spent the last 13 years seeking to turn Hungary into a fascist state. He controls the judiciary. He controls the media. He scapegoats Jews, Muslims and refugees for the country’s problems. He aligns himself with Putin.
Fascists inherently don’t like cross-border cooperation and supranational governance - it runs against all their beliefs about their nation’s superiority. So he doesn’t like the EU either and blames it for things to his domestic audiences. There is no press freedom in Hungary and so Hungarian voters get bombarded with this nonsense.
The EU needs to recognise that an enemy of European civilisation has been given the keys to the castle. That is a dangerous situation. It is time to invoke Article 7 to recognise that Hungary is acting against the EU’s founding values, and remove Hungary’s veto.
How can this dude look at himself and believe anything about superiority? Or Hungary, a mediocre country at best.
It used to be an empire. And conmen can get rich by telling people that it could be one again.
One thing you neglected to mention is the rampant corruption which tends to involve EU money going into projects run by people close to Orban. Orban somehow manages to massively profit off EU money while running ad campaigns villainizing EU leader-du-jour (currently von der Leyen) as being a puppet of George Soros. Anywho, that’s why the EU regional aid money being blockaded is such a big deal to Hungarian leadership.
As a hungarian i completely agree with this. I think its hopeless so im moving away…
Orban sucks off Putin like the GOP and Heritage Foundation. He’s trying to melt the EU from within. What more do you need to know?
