Watch: Why Polish Election Results are Bad for Hungary?

• 23 Nov 2023 1:00 PM

Hungary, often described as a thorn in the EU's side, has repeatedly blocked the European initiatives. And while the EU has a treasure chest of disciplinary tools, their mightiest – Article 7, dubbed the 'nuclear option' –- has been ineffective. Why?

Enter Poland, Hungary's trusty sidekick in EU-defiance. Together, these historical buddies have teamed up against EU sanctions and pressure, especially the dreaded Article 7.

But here's the twist: recent Polish elections saw a regime change, with Tusk's coalition taking the reins. So, Hungary might be on the brink of losing its partner-in-resistance.

But fear not, the EU-Hungary tango isn't over. Rumor has it another country is warming up in the wings, ready to dance to Hungary's beat.
