Weird that EU is sending so much money to Hungary, quite weird for an enemy organization.
An enemy organisation he’s free to leave at any time, also.
Why would he leave when he can use the mechanisms of the EU to fuck shit up on behalf of Russia.
Why not ease that process, and kick them out altogether? I’m sure they’ll like the Russian Alternative.
There’s no way to kick a member out of the EU.
Seems like this was a pretty big mistake nobody considered at the time…
They must have been following the UN Security Council’s example…
They were dreaming of a better future…
I had to check what you meant because I thought EU turned off the faucet. Well, this is where it gets interesting. Apparently the faucet was turned off as per EU laws and then in December 2023 the EU commission unfroze the funds which amounted to 10 billion euros. But then in April 2024 the EU parliament filed a suit that the commission had wrongly applied the rule of law when unfreezing the funds. A few days ago, prior to the summit, a top advisor of the EU court of Justice said that the EU commission should demand that 10 billion back.
Would be interesting to know if Orban was making his comments before or after hearing this.
a ) let us see how his elections turn out b ) EU is reshaping so minorities cannot block and extort said money any longer.
Looking ahead to a brighter future.
