    It’s impressive how much Fico and Orban keeps whining about LGBT, considering how firmly they’ve got their faces planted in Putin’s crotch.

        The recent scandal with signing that EP thing shows that Orbán is truly afraid.

        Would you consider moving home if the new government fixes the country up to a level rivaling Romania at least?

      Ugh… Can’t throw Hungary out of EU. They’ll go hungry and hangry and they’re landlocked behind defensive lines. Orban knows he’s a thorn and is loving every minute of it.

      Being an evil oligarch/dictator wannabe is very fun until someone actually kills you.

        There is still a mechanism to remove a county’s veto power, I believe. Probably not easy to invoke, but it exists.

        If the Hungarian people don’t want to be in the glorious Russian union state like Belarusians, they can do a maidan colour revolution to make their choice heard.
