As a Hungarian I am ashamed of what Orbàn has done to our country. He is a coward and a criminal and the sad thing there is nothing really the EU can do about it without hurting the people of Hungary ( which would give ammunition to Orbàn to further deepen its rotten roots). Orbán is aware of this and further uses Hungarians as human shield basically.
The Hungarian people are clearly pro-EU, they have no intention of leaving it or even obstructing it. (There are a few idiots, but idiots are everywhere.) The Hungarian government is not equal to the Hungarian people. Hungarians are fed up with 15 years of corruption and lies by the current government. They are fed up with poor healthcare, poor education, a declining economy, inflation and our government being the black sheep of the EU. You can rightly ask why they were able to stay for 15 years. The reasons are complex, largely propaganda, but there are other factors as well. The '26 election will be a serious milestone in Hungary-EU relations.
Unfortunately not. A country can be expelled only by unanimous vote of ALL member countries, including the one to be kicked out. The only remedies left are withholding of EU funding, withdrawal of voting rights and appeals to the EU courts.
The only mechanism is if all member states vote it. It's hard to achieve cause there's another almost similar leader Fico from Slovakia who would not vote for that.
Hungarian voter are responible in the first place, but EU has a big part of responsibility too because they did too little too late. They could stop Orbans systematic building of dictatorship when first signs appeared, but they just payed him and did not suspend voting rights. Now he has a very well build up power system, I see very little chance to make him go peacefully.
dude, you are mental accusing the "voters" in a dictatorship. i guess you are aware that in a dictatorship the dictator makes sure he stays in power through various methods. after he built up his system the "voters" have a really slim chance to overthrow a dictator, especially through legal means.
Can you really blame people who live under the poverty line and their only entertainment is the media channels that they have access to (owned by the Hungarian government). They receive a bag of potatoes or 3 euros a month before the election, and they are constantly kept in fear that if they don’t vote for Orban the world will end?
It was interesting to watch Ursula withhold Covid funds from Hungary. I’m sure that impressed the Hungarian population. -From So Cal, USA (not Russian vibes).
Budapest might be the most beautiful city in the world. I felt safest there as a solo traveller. I cannot say the same for any other EU country full of the impoted troublemakers. Just speaking from personal experiences.
According to Trump's pragmatic strategy, he is a purely self-interested person. The question for the Hungarians is what would Trump gain from the support or opposition of a weak country like Hungary, whose presence or absence in NATO will not affect anything
It seems to me, stupidity is going full circle now, not only in America, but also across Europe. Well, I just wait and see if common sense will be given a slight chance to survive.
@DW News - Could you look into Republika Srpska’s link to Hungary and China’s €4B investment in the Balkans? A deeper dive could really help uncover the bigger picture here… Bosnia & Herzegovina is at the center of something major-Orbán and Xi are playing the long game, and most people aren’t even seeing it. Greetings from Ireland ☘
The Orban playbook worked very well in a smallish country with little more than ten, fifteen years of experience in democracy while the EU was largely looking the other way. The idea that the same agenda will play out just as well in a country the size of the US and with 250 years of getting used to democracy, seems preposterous.
@xena2559 i feel that the time are so tumultuous everything is possible! I do not believe in any prediction these days :) Have a good day! Good talking with you
Why do they always compare Meloni to these guys? I din't get an impression that she far right at all, she's just a center-right populist. After all, all politics becomes populist politics in the age of internet. Am I wrong? P.S. I'm not Italian.
Recent events have made clear that Europe needs to speak with a single strong voice. Russia by now is a lost cause. If America wants to do business, let them come to Brussels. We shouldn’t visit a Washington that gives us insults.
Hungary has 1/4 of the Netherlands' GDP. Orban is playing a dangerous game of blackmail within the EU hoping there is nobody in the EU saying enough, ever. There are a view guys thinking to be much more powerful than they are currently. If they keep dialing up the tension something will break soon -- and once systems break they reveal real power, of which there isn't much in Hungary, let alone Serbia. Mistaking believes in rules, law, some fairness, ... for weakness is a fatal error. Sure, the others will suffer, too. But it won't be the members of EU largely playing by the rules (including the foundational consensus [sadly some things assumed to clear to ever have been put into rules are now being refused in blackmailing]) and having about 50 times the economic power that might be going down hard if push comes to shove. Hungary, landlocked, is really absurd to take the position of trying to play the super powers against each other and be the winner in the end -- delusional.
Orbán is closely aligned with Putin since 2009. He follows Putin's handbook of state capture, which was also the intention of Trump for his first term, after taking KGB help to win the election. Trump had too many checks and balances, hence he had to ask KGB again, to help him into power in 2024 - and now he also intends to refer to the same state capture handbook. Orban thinks, that he can play a "KGB intermediary" role. I do not agree to the cited analyst's opinion on Orbán harming Trump's interests : both of them are controlled by the Kremlin. They act in a coordinated manner.
If I have learned anything recently it is that too many EU politicians and perhaps a majority of journalists are slow thinkers. They are just not able to think outside their sandbox of squabbling politics. When Fascism comes knocking they are like pigs in a headlight. Luckily there are exceptions, so we might still have a chance to learn to stand up straight and drop the notion that we need to hug everybody until they agree with us.
The USA is in North America, not Europe. Why should someone care about other countries’ issues? The European mentality seems to be that the USA should protect them and also give them money in exchange for nothing-an illogical mindset.
Shouldn't it not be much harder to turn USA in to a oligarchy than Hungary? USA is a old democracy while Hungary don't really have that tradition. Hungary just tried for 20 years when Orban got power.
For people in the comments who say, "just kick them out", keep in mind you have to kick every country in the future where a right-wing party gets in power. Germany votes in AFD next election cycle? Kick them out too! The reason EU doesn't do it, because it would set a really bad precedent, and it would spell the beginning of the end for the EU. The Hungarian opposition is getting stronger and stronger, the country can be saved yet hopefully.
Why would Hungary ever believe USA/USSR needs them?
