  1. I don’t care how he disappears he just needs to disappear.

  2. Can’t we just all invoke article 50 and create a new EU without Hungary? /s

  5. Easy to act bold when the fossil fuel industry sponsors the global right wing uprise with their trillions of dollars.

  6. > The PM noted that an EU of concentric circles was not the same as a “multi-speed Europe” and explained that countries on the perimeter in such a system would cooperate in just two areas: military security and energy security. That circle could include Turkiye, the United Kingdom and “horribile dictu” Ukraine, he said. Orbán said the second circle would include countries that were in the common market, and the third countries that wanted a common currency. The fourth circle would include countries that want to harmonise their principles and form a political union, he added.

    But we already have it. We already have countries that are members of EFTA, which puts them in the same free trade zone, as the EU countries. We already have countries that are members of EU, but not of Eurozone. We also have countries with EU Association Agreement.

    So what Orban describes is not some new quality of EU. It is just his own wishful thinking that Hungary could viably still benefit from the trade union, but oficially become an autocracy ruled by him.

  7. Orbán needs to be dealt with by the harshest of means. The EU should not be held hostage by a Putin brown noser

  8. Only joined in 2004, and is massive recipient of EU funds, yet somehow seems to think their role is to bully and harangue everyone else, ignore the membership rules, threaten to actively undermine policies that are trying to deal with a huge external military threat, and constantly threaten to destroy the EU from within…

    All I’d say is the EU is a very easy going and tolerant bunch!

  10. We have to bear him just up to next elections (which the EU and OCSE must very strictly supervise against frauds).

  11. Orbán: Fox in the henhouse.

    He is the cancer inside the EU.

  12. The headline could also be: Senile Rightwing Politician desperately trying to matter.

  15. If the EU collapses, where is he going to steal the money from?. All those sweet sweet funds would dry up instantly. And the Chinese are much worse business partner than EU.

  16. I’d imagine Orban will be arrested once the opposition gets in to office and manages to find the evidence of all his corruption.

  17. To be honest, the attack against EU from all sides feels almost apocalyptic. We seem like the last bastion of freedom and normality in a wolrd drowning in the alt-right madness. We need to take decisive actions to stop this nonsense.
    I kept telling for years that we need to stop giving platform to alt-right, to stop tolerating them, but ofc our leaders believed that this would be “undemocratic” – well look where it got us. We have an orange antichrist doing Heritage Foundation biddings and turning US into literal Gilead from Handmaid’s Tale (sans Handmaids themselves, however with a plan to turn brain dead and comatose women into incumbators – so not much better), we have China Russia Korea and India Square-of-Evil flexing their muscles on that conference of nightmares last week. Something must be done and must be done now.

  19. We need to switch from veto to qualified majority. It’s been enough. It doesn’t work.Morons will always find a way to hold you back, and you’ll always have a judah ready to sell you out to your enemies.

    Just make a 2/3 majority and that’s it. Or better yet, federalize and make a freakin’ elected executive.

    Otherwise china and usa will dismantle us. Here Orban is right, but not in the way he thinks he is.

  20. I am sick and tired of wimpy EU politicians.

    Putin, Orban, Xi Jinping and Trump are walking all over us.

    Stand up and tell them to go fick themselves, literally!

    Yeah it’s gonna hurt short term, but this is unsustainable in the long run.

    Enough is enough!

  21. He should be more concerned with his own collapse which is imminent

  24. This is just barking for their supporters. No real threats. As a hungarian I can assure that. We will kick orban and his mafia out from Hungary. They will land in moscow pretty soon!

  25. The UK already threatened us with EU collapse.. we all know how that went…

  26. Won’t Hungary stop getting EU money if the EU collapses?
