The European Union has stripped Hungary of the right to host the next meeting of foreign and defence ministers over its stance on the war in Ukraine.
It comes weeks after Hungary assumed the presidency of the Council of the European Union, a role in which it would normally host the event, and amid anger over a meeting Prime Minister Viktor Orban held with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier this month.
The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said Hungary’s actions should have consequences and that “we have to send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal”.
Hungary described the move as “completely childish”.
Hungarian here, Viktator is a dick, don’t judge my whole country by him, thanks.
American here, we won’t judge you for Vik the dick, if you won’t judge us for Don the con.
Deal.
continue judging Hungary for Miklós Horthy
Never said anything about history!
My problem is not that there exists ONE guy like him. It rather worries me that he’s been doing shit like that for the past fourteen years, people have been watching it and every four years since then, more than half of them were like “yeah, that’s what I want for the next four years, too.”
Obviously it would still be unjust to judge the other half, but the fact that half of the county supports this thing is worrying at the very least.
More like every third person, turn out rates and all. But even that number is achived by what is basically propaganda flowing from all state owned TV and radio stations, newspapers and constant billboard campaings. They don’t even say they are the best, they just say it’s them or the PM from before them, who is now basically seen as devil incarnate (probably because of the same propaganda), even though I lived most of my life under Orban.
My bad, I should have written half of the voters.
