Hah, rules in the EU actually working well is nice to see, also I hope Orban gets wrecked in the next elections (2026?) and Hungary gets a normal leader that cares about his people and country.
Orban has completely changed the electoral system to heavily favour his party. The opposition would need a landslide and there’s no guarantee the election will be free or fair.
It's crazy that as soon as someone has entrenched themselves in power, they run to Putin or wants to be like him.
Guess it's Maidan time then?!
It's good to see it happening, but it's been really slow to implement, and allowed Orban a lot of time to shore up support and put lackeys in critical political positions. Even with the demanded reforms in place, it's likely he will "win" the next "election" and use the "mandate" to further entrench himself.
If only the USA could join, we’d be forced to be somewhat normal.
Oh, no. Individual States, sure, but the whole US would wreck the power balance in the institutions (compare Germany).
The USA joining the EU? That would effectively be something spectacular. I'm not quite sure it'd work out.
