It kinda blows me away how the EU has let Orban fester in Hungary for so long with effectively zero meaningful punitive action. Yes, some funds were withheld, but nothing of real impact seems to have been done.
I think it is complicated. First off, the EU has very little teeth in terms of doing anything significant to countries like Hungary. But even if they did, if you push Hungary out of the EU, then Russia moves in just the same as they are in Belarus. Now you have a Russian controlled country in Central Europe. That’s a problem. I think the EU is hoping that come election time, things resolve themselves without the need for extreme action that could result in a much less stable Europe.
I agree, Hungary has gotten off way to easy, for the massive amount of problems they have caused, and for actually being traitors to the values of EU.
We need to be able to suspend membership in different degrees, Hungary has about 75% of their export to other EU countries, so it’s not like there aren’t options.
Only now?
Only half?
Only Ukraine?
Really unsure where they got those numbers. I guess my family and friend group are all in the sane half.
Edit: ah, the article says the actual survey was conducted in February, so before the most recent round of bullshittery from Orban

Still… Only back in February? And only half? Orban being a Putin stooge wasn’t exactly a secret before then.
Only 50%
I wonder how many Hungarians view Hungary as a hostile state
and my axe
Ukrainians and myself! Let’s push that number to 100%
