Prime Minister Viktor Orbán compared Hungary’s membership in the European Union to more than four decades of Soviet occupation of his country during a speech on Monday commemorating the anniversary of Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution.
sooooo, #hexit?
A bunch of our local bigots have been moving to Hungary because the local bigotry appeals to them.
With a bit of luck we can wait till they’re all settled there then burn the bridge behind them.
We get our very own Assholestan in the middle of Europe! Hooray!
It would lead to an even worse shift towards autoritharianism. He would likely bring back death penalty for victimless crimes of all things.
What would be a better help is to destroy the helpers of the Orbán regime in other countries, such as CitizenGo. Any country that lets that theocratic fascist org roam free and not shove its members into prison for atttempts at subverting democracy and human rights should be deeply ashamed of themselves.
Don’t give me hope.
Pretty please!
Although I agree sentimentally, I would believe that if they leave there is an even smaller chance for them to dig themselves out of this semi-dictatorship.

You’re probably right. I also don’t think, Orban wants to leave EU since then he can no longer blame EU for interior problems and grab EU money for his entourage. Nevertheless, I think, the EU needs to do something about being held hostage by Orban and other right winged cowards (I hope Poland successfully did get rid of PiS government).
Tbis would be great.

Yeah, but then it’s not my problem
Please don’t
Old facist yells at cloud.
Okay Orban then give back all the EU money you and your cunty family and friends pocketed. You hate those icky western liberals but you happily snatched that liberal money out of their hands. The EU isn’t just an economic bloc, if you don’t like the ideology of the EU then leave. What a dumbass wannabe dictator.
Also:
Orbán, a proponent of an alternative form of populist governance that he calls “illiberal democracy,”
Ah so he hates freedom. Dude doesn’t even know what liberal means. He probably thinks it means gay love or something.
The only thing he is blasting is Putins dong.
One day, Putin will die, and without a clear line of succession, a struggle will ensue to succeed him. Perhaps Orban sees this and has figured that, if he quickly pulls Hungary out of the EU and into the Russian Union State that Belarus is slated to join by 2030 and Ukraine was to have been assimilated into, he’d stand a chance at becoming Czar of a vast and terrible Eurasian empire
🖕🖕🖕🖕
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Speaking to a select group of guests in the city of Veszprem, Orbán accused the EU of seeking to strip Hungary of its identity by imposing a model of liberal democracy that he said Hungarians reject.
Brussels, the de facto capital of the EU, employs methods against Hungary that hearken back to the days of Soviet domination by Moscow, he said.
The Oct. 23 national holiday commemorates the beginning of a 1956 popular uprising against Soviet repression that began in Hungary’s capital, Budapest, and spread across the country.
After Hungary’s Stalinist leader was successfully ousted and Soviet troops were forced out of the capital, a directive from Moscow sent the Red Army back into Budapest and brutally suppressed the revolution, killing as many as 3,000 civilians and destroying much of the city.
In recent years, he has used the occasion to draw parallels between the EU’s attempts to bring Hungary into compliance with its rules on corruption and democracy, and the repression the country faced under Soviet occupation in the 20th century.
European leaders, as well as other members of the NATO military alliance such as the United States, expressed concern that Orbán had met with Putin even as an international arrest warrant has been issued against him for alleged war crimes in Ukraine.
The original article contains 625 words, the summary contains 214 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
He blasts? With a leaf blower? Sends a bit of air?
I don’t know what the leader of Turkey is on about but it doesn’t make sense
