I think Trump should clap for him once more, this time he takes aim directly at US organisations.
Great leader /s
EU needs better measures to deal with wannabe dictators inside our union. It’s shameful Orban has been in power for this long, slowly eroding Hungary while we just observe.
I posted this [a while back](https://cz.boell.org/en/2023/12/18/hungarys-sovereignty-protection-act-eu) already. But no one in Europe really seems to be bothered by it anymore. There is hardly any protest about it. “It’s Orban doing Orban stuff”, and people walk on. Orban keeps yapping about immigrants, and the rest of Europe falls for it. And while Europe and the EU are looking away, he’s breaking down the rule of law in Hungary more and more every year.
Back in 2014, Orban already *publicly* stated he wanted to turn Hungary into a mini-Russia. That’s a decade ago. In those 10 years, things have only gotten worse and worse and worse in Hungary. The EU did nothing about it. The EPP even protected him for years, until Orban decided to leave the EPP himself in 2021. The EU kept giving him and still keeps giving him billions and billions of our money.
You can’t tell me that in those 10 years nothing, nothing at all, could have been done about Orban. I don’t believe that. And the longer the EU waits to do something that actually works about Orban, things will only get even worse. And not just in Hungary anymore. In the EU itself as well.
The EU has a de facto autocrat/wannabe dictator in its midst. Why is this being accepted? How Orban rules Hungary is an example for most, if not all populist-right politicians in Europe. This is how they want to govern their own countries, as well.
When is enough, enough?
The Hungarian population need to wake up to this lunatic
Doesn’t seem like a country that belongs in the EU.
Get kicked out of the EU ,i am sure pootin 🐷 will enjoy taking your little country again .
The Sovereignty Protection Agency still didn’t comment on chinese police being allowed to operate inside Hungary…
Orban is such a brutal slob
Tucker Carlsons father is helping consult Orban on how to be a better dictator.
At this rate, we’re going to have to start calling him “Little Putin.”
Or maybe in Hungarian, ‘Putin’s kurva.’
EU either finds a way to exclude Hungary from the union or it will be dismantled. Can’t have democratic union with an authoritarian member.
Hungary is lost.
And people still cheer for communism and how awesome that ideology is.
I read “Orbán takes cum from Putin in repressing dissent” and was rather confused
least authoritarian Orban moment
Hello OP, could you link a source please for approval? thank you
….shhh, I thought i was on r/2westerneurope4you for a moment
Keep blaming him but at Orban was a fuckin liberal at the beginning. He has a phd on liberal politics etc. at Oxford. He couldn’t get meaningful votes in any of the election he entered as liberal.
When he turned into whoever he is now, his votes started to increase significantly and he intensified his position.
This is what people want unfortunately. They are short sighted and inclined to follow a “leader”
What’s happening in Hungary is really tragic. Despite all the hateful comments here, Hungarians are a beautiful nation and they deserve much better. They’re being taken hostage by this mini-Putin and there is no way of escaping it, imho, not with the elections at least. (I lived in Hungary for almost 10 years).
We in Turkey suffer from the same, but unlike Hungarians, we deserve it, so it’s not as tragic.
The EU should immediately cut all funding to Hungary. Shit like this isn’t in line with European values.
Orban will die. And then Hungarians will be in a world where rest of the Europe doesnt like them at all. And they will ask why. And there isnt 100 million of them that they are vital to EU. Rude awakening incoming.
Oh Magyarország 🙃
That’s how you end up getting shot, heh
Yet still an EU member state.
Why haven’t Hungary been given the boot? It is pretty obvious they are a snake in the grass. Putin would have had him killed already if the tables were turned. They are traitors spying on us in our institutions and then betraying us to Russia. Yet we beg him to let us give our money to Ukraine? As if Hungary has ever contributed, rather than being the parasite it is.
