Independent MP Akos Hadhazy has said "the government has now become uncertain … but we don't know what it will do in autumn and next spring", and added that his series of weekly demonstrations would be continued.
Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán said Thursday that a state-run consultation had given him a “strong mandate” to oppose Ukraine’s accession to the European Union during the EU summit in Brussels. As the closest EU ally of Russia, the nationalist leader has repeatedly raised objections and placed hurdles in the way of Kyiv’s efforts to join the 27-member bloc.
Michael Knowles sat down with the PM of Hungary Viktor Orbán to discuss various topics, specifically the moving of the Holy Crown of St. Stephen from the National Museum to the Parliament, as well as the Prime Minister's understanding of "freedom".
"This is a one way road that we saw taken by Erdogan, Putin, or even Lukashenko and Orbán. There is no turning back." Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban's waning popularity will not affect their ability to win elections, using "illiberal" practices to retain their power, says Hungarian MEP and opponent to PM Viktor Orbán, Klara Dobrev.
