    The EU should be able to Veto Hungary, Personally I think they should be kicked out. It's like marriage If it's irrevocably broken, accept the fact, and part. Orban will always be far too corrupt to have in the EU. Just accept the Truth. He can partner Putin..

    OMG…the EU elitists blackmail ALL of its members. The EU is a control agency formed so European elites could control and monitor the citizen populations of its member nations. The EU is designed to institutionalize the dominant status of these elites so they may exploit the common populations of Europe.

    Funny thing with the Hungary leaders , last year the romanians near the hungarian border ,were going in to Hungary to reafuel because it was a lot cheaper , after a while they stoped allowing romanians to do that , fast forward guess who is coming in Romania to refuel and to do grocerys . We cant not love such neighbours . Karma btw .

    it's about time the EU sorted out its voting system … how one country can hold it to ransom …it should be a clear majority, not a unanimous one …say 65% or so would be the right way to go… and remove Hungary from the EU …it doesn't conform and won't conform to the EU laws and yet its still in the EU …Is breaking human rights laws and freedom laws …shouldn't that means it doesn't want to be in the EU …the EU seem not to mind…. its either a law or its not…..

    Anglos already are launching and promoting a campaign for the goverment to resign for a sexual case abuse, is the Trump tactic, cos they want to make the War.
    And Hungary is the only one stopping them to do so.

    Get rid of Orban or kick Hungary out of the EU and NATO. The international film business needs to pull up stakes and stop doing business in Hungary.

    Hungary and little viktor urban’s attempt to blackmail EU and especially Sweden must subject Urban and Hungary to reciprocative treatment. Trade Hungary with Russia for Donbas and Crimea! And box in Hungary with identical blockade as Russia.

    In Spanish there's a saying "Amor con amor se paga". Love is paid with love. And vice versa. The meaning is tremendously pointed, and the authoritarian Russian mole in the EU is getting some love back now…

    Hungary signs up to EU, takes its money and doesn’t abide by the rules. Piss off Hungary and give back all that money and fend for yourself so.

  26. @baluvideo

    February 18, 2024 at 5:48 pm

    As a hungarian I am relieved the EU has finally turned off the money tap that has been funding the personal enrichment of Viktor Orbán. He's used EU funds to build a soft dictatorship inside the EU. Now, that money is short his regime is showing serious cracks. Just last week the president (a hand selected puppet of Orbán) had to resign because she gave a presidential pardon to a deputy headmaster of a state orphanage after that man was convicted for covering up the headmaster's abuse of boys under their "care". I hope noone is surprised that she is aligned with American "family first" organisations…
