I am a UK expat living in Hungary since 2017. Orbán has systematically restricted all opposition, controlled the media, denied a basic freedom of democratic protest, infiltrated the judiciary with his cronies, bled the country dry of the EU funds that have been forthcoming while syphoning it off to his many friends, family members and associates, allowing critical infrastructure, roads, railways, schools and hospitals to decline and fall into disrepair all while criticising the EU and the hand that feeds him. Article 7 is well over due but I won’t hold my breath 🤬

The path to Art 7 is by dealing with Fico, he will veto it and seek support for his anti EU rhetoric. Thanks for the info James.

Yes. Fico is a key ally. He can block any attempt to deal with Orbán.

The Hungarian miscreant routinely refuses to comply with EU directives and conducts himself in an appaling fashion. It's time Hungary were permanently expelled as they'll never leave voluntarily
