  1. How?

    Orban don’t like the EU as institution. He already rewrote his laws to make it extremely difficult to beat him. He flooded the streets with AI generated election propaganda featuring Zelenskyy and EU officials.

    He will not get softer. And he may not lose his seat.

    “Hope” sounds a lot like “thoughts and prayers”

    What is being constitutionally done to prevent the next Russian puppet?

  3. Problems don’t solve themselves. Even if the elections would get rid of Orbán, there is still the same rogue state problem underneath that can cripple the Union. And that problem has solutions.

    All Europeans do…. we are so fed up with this dictator. Hope Hungary will soon be free again.

    I think all these articles are tempting fate. We all k ow what we are on the cusp of.but let’s wait for the election to be over first.

    If Orban gone, then it will be Fico or another one. He was a convenient figure all the other euroobstructionists hid behind

  7. Even if the opposition wins the election, I’m almost sure Orban won’t just leave quietly. He will try something. Constitutional crisis, fake assassination-attempt against himself, state of emergency due “Ukrainian attack”, canceling the election due “manipulation”. Something.

  8. Orban is just on top of a big corrupt organization. If Orban loses then this organization is still there and it will try hard to keep its privileges. This is not over with Orban. They need to clean this up thoroughly.

  9. When i’m at work and my supervisor, my customers and all of my coworkers hope that i’m getting fired tomorrow, and openly declare that in all channels available, maybe it’s time to fucking quit.

  10. Hoping is not enough.

    This one country deadlocking the entire union thing needs reform, today not tomorrow.

  11. Even though Orban is removed and Hungary’s veto will no longer apply, the long term challenges for Ukraine will come from France the way the opinion polls look now. The EU will have to find another way to finance Ukraine because otherwise, as long as the right to veto is not removed, I have a hard time to see RN agreeing to any aid packaged for Kyiv. Maybe a coalition of willing, formed from countries willing to help, would be more useful long term than the EU financing schemes.

  12. This is not a plan for long term governance.

    Why not just start this whole EU thing again from scratch, with a better foundation, and democratic requirements both to join and to remain part of.

    I just think one single nay should not be allowed to fail a vote like that in the first place
