BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — The real threat facing Hungary is not Russia but the European Union, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a speech to supporters on Saturday, as his nationalist party ramps up an anti-EU campaign ahead of national elections.

    Sure. EU rules are lacking, perhaps because the rule makers did not (want to?) anticipate willfull sabotage by a member state. That’s on them. So it took way too long for the EU to stop propping up this regime.

    As for any kind of super majority I sincerly hope people will not make that mistake again. Way too risky. AFAIK this is what enabled this lot in the first place.

    Anyway, best of luck!

      Just want to say that Orbán has always acted in a way to please German industry lobbies.

      He is where he is because of that and German conservative governments keeping him in power.

      Hard agree on all the points.

      any kind of super majority (…) too risky

      This is a point that divides the people. The majority want a powerful hand striking down, the minority are hoping for pluralism.

      Thank you for the well-wishes.
