The source they’re citing is a single person that’s not likely to be impartial.

I do know about it. I don’t believe nobody would have covered for Orban.

Prime suspects would be Slovakia and Austria in this case. My point was slightly different though: this is just one thing where Hungary might have seemed isolated but I’m pretty sure there are other matters where threat of Hungary veto stopped some initiatives before they could be considered in full.

Imagine EU directive making all member states need to recognize same sex civil unions. Hungary would obviously veto it so why would you bother but there’s still Bulgaria, Romania and Poland that could say nothing and hide behind Hungary.

I chuckled at that too. Euronews has since revised the title so I updated it here too.

Slovakia elected Fico who’ll shield Orban from article 7 now that Kaczynski is gone in Poland.

Disclaimer, some of the things he’s promising (access to abortion, civil unions for same sex couples) are not supported by considerable part of his coalition. Want to be proven wrong but PiS got elected on delivering impossible, Tusk is known for the exact opposite.

Wasn’t my intention and I’ve never looked at it this way but yeah, Tusk can stumble on most basic things if the change causes even minor inconvenience to vocal part of his coalitions. His previous government was described as government of “warm water in the sink” because it was baseline of what could be expected to be delivered.

To clarify, he was expelled from this session of parliament. He got his salary cut temporarily (highest possible penalty that parliament can enforce on their own) and hopefully will face criminal charges.

Antisemitic voters obviously exist and he just ensured they vote for him.
