A Polish deputy foreign minister has suggested that Hungary could leave the EU and NATO and instead “create a union with Putin and authoritarian states”.

    Looks like that immunity shielding agreement just fell through, good on Poland for voting to stop protecting Orban from the consequences of his total bullshit.

          It’s funny as shit, they hated each other in the 90s early 2000s, when Orbán was centre right and Fico leftist. Than populism and Russian money made them friends.

          legitimate existence of by denouncing trianon

          No. Noone says that in Hungary except the most delusionals. Orbán loves to play little games, to annoy everyone, but he knows his boundaries. This speech about the Poles were in his jamboree, where he spoke to his followers. I bet, next week you will see news where he says he was misunderstood or something like that. He always does this, speak random bullshit to his followers, than he says something totally different in Brussels.

          In 2022 at the same festival he was speaking about how Hungarians are not a mixed race (sic!). in 2014 about illiberal democracy. Tusványos speeches are usually for the most hardcore fans, and he always says something awful for attention.

      I wish they had the balls to do it. I think they came quite close when they blocked Ukraine aid. But VDL seems reluctant. And now there is also Slovakia.

        They’ll never fucking do it.

        The game is to keep shitting on the EU while using EU funded projects to enrich themselves and keep up appearances that their shitty country isn’t getting worse by the day.

    Like in mediaeval feudal times - we (EU) shall send our ugliest daughter (Hungary) to marry the foreign sovereign (Russia). It will bring peace for a time, but the offsprings (congruences) are sure to be ugly af.

        That’s what a girl told me in Budapest when I was there. "If there’s a right side in a conflict, you can be sure Hungary will join the other. "

        Seems that Budapest is progressive, but the direction is set by the countryside.

        The marriage isn’t voluntary, and to deny the bride means an all out war.

        And we have a creepy uncle Daddy that is like waaaay too much into guns.

    This development has been super interesting For a very long time, Poland has been that one best friend Hungary had and they worked together to block everything together (see also Visegrád Group). Then, after the invasion of Ukraine the relationship between them was disrupted very heavily.

    Is “union” polish for circlejerk?

    “Have some pivo and union, kurwa!”
