Watch: Why Polish Election Results are Bad for Hungary?

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.
