Just today these five castles were stolen by the Orban-regime. All five were renovated using stolen EU and taxpayer funds before given away to oligarch and cronies.

  1. Source because OP didn’t provide one:

    These castles were renovated and the cost was billions of forints. Of course they weren’t renovated with the oligarch’s money but by ours. It was public money and now they gave away these castles for **free** to Orbán’s lackeys and their companies.

  4. And Orban always wins the elections. Propaganda is such a powerful tool

  5. Take them back. Throw Orban and his friends out. Power to the people

  6. Orban is a parasite. I would interested in knowing why the EU to puts up with him, what is their reasoning.

  8. Yet some people will vote for him and sympathize with him because, to them, he is a champion of fear mongering and defender of Christianity against “Muslim invaders”, as if he himself did not maintain relations with autocratic leaders of some Muslim majority countries

  9. You call those castles?

    Where are your battlements, moats and drawbridges?

  11. The worst thing about corruption is that it works so well.

  12. In the Qing Dynasty serious cases of tax evasion, corruption and theft was often times punished by having the offenders face wounded using a chisel and mallet and then pouring tattoo ink into his wounds to permanently mark their shame for all the world to see. Aggregated cases could also including additional punishments such as confiscation of property and forced labour in desolate regions.

    Often times family members would also suffer such punishments due to their inherent complicity and failure to report the offender to the authorities.

    Such a wise ancient culture.

  13. How does he even manage to stay in power? Is he loved or something there?

  14. The same thing happened in poland when PiS already knew they would lose next election

    They want to steal as much as possible

  17. Every time Americans see MAGAs palling around with Orban they should think of stuff like this.

  19. But but the people in work say that Orban only wants good for the people!!

  23. Do You wanna say, EU misses control over own moneys and how it is being used for evil things? Do EU bad?

    some /s, Yeah, EU do flood in paperwork all the time (and self control over how control do the control), nothin new. Point to EU haters.

  24. Hungary shouldnt even be in the EU. Change my mind. 

  25. No no no, you don’t get it. It is of vital importance that the government of hungary spends 0 money on developing things that benefit the public at large, spend billions of HUF on propaganda and have laws against queer people while pardoning actual pedophiles. They earned all this stolen shit by making millions suffer, it’s actually good that they have these castles while the average hungarian barley gets by.

  26. When is the Hungarian election? How likely is it that this dog gets kicked out of office?

  27. Recently revisited Budapest, the quality of roads describes the picture

  29. Why do we continue to give him any money at all? We should freeze all his foreign assets instead!!

  31. More like palaces, but yea…

    I also doubt Orban’s oligarchs would like living in actual castles.

  32. so this is an argument against the EU? because the EU money is spent on stuff like this?

  33. Sorry to hear that. Vučić does the exact same thing, no wonder they are such good friends.

  34. psst, don’t tell the europeans that are happy to pay 40%+ taxes. they think their taxes are being used for good and super efficiently.

  36. They were stolen, renovated and given away in 1 day?
    This is a terrible tragedy. A loss of cultural heritage and public trust.
    But… can I get the phone number for the contractor?

  38. Mel Brooks, History of the world, part I: it’s good to be the Oligarch 😀

  39. Why isn’t “being a functioning democracy with freedom of press and political opposition” a requirement for EU membership? 

  42. I don’t want to be rude. But how exactly did Hungary qualify as an EU country? It’s clear that it’s a dictatorship.

  43. This makes me quite angry, it this post is real. How far can we let Hungary and Orban go? At this point they’re just mocking the EU and everything it stands for. Kick them out. If they start cooperating with Russia, use force. A conflict with Russia at this point is inevitable.

  45. Let me guess the inside now has white and black marble, and shitty gold stuff everywhere?

  46. Out out out. We need swift measures to throw those grifter out of the EU ASAP!

  49. And people truly get pissed or wonder why the Swiss would NEVER EVER vote to join the EU.

    It’s exactly those kinda insane ideas from the EU.
