The EU is trying to make an example out of Hungary and punish them by slashing funds over democratically re-electing Viktor Orban. When they oppose dictatorships like in Iraq or Libya for example, ok we can understand that, but why are they opposing a democracy?
The following story is the most undemocratic action of an authority we have ever came across. The EU is now basically sanctioning Hungary because they re-elected Orban. Had they elected someone else there would be no sanctions so…. where is the democracy in all of this? How can the EU in good faith sanction Hungary and call itself a democracy at the same time?
Orban was elected democratically by a majority of 53%. He doesn’t even need to make a coalition with other parties. This is the will of the people. Clearly such an action from the EU to sanction Hungary over this is undemocratic. The reason for these sanctions is “corruption”. They are not outright saying they are sanctioning Hungary because they re-elected Orban.
At this point why is Hungary insisting on being a EU and NATO member is a mystery. Clearly they would be better off to just exit the EU and NATO and try to form their own new alliance with Serbia would be a great starter since its not in the EU, Poland, Romania and other neighbors. They would be better off that way.
West EU states are not importing any products from East EU states anyway. Their economies will never grow that way when they buy everything from West EU states while West EU states buy nothing from East EU states. This is not how trade works, this is not how an economy is being run.
They are all happy over receiving a few millions for roads and stuff while they send to West EU states many more millions whenever they buy Belgian chocolate, French cheese, Italian pasta all in a German supermarket such as Lidl. How exactly is this helping Hungarian economy?
Here’s the story from Rmx News:
Just two days after Viktor Orbán won a resounding victory in Hungary, the European Commission has triggered a new mechanism that will see Hungary’s funding from the bloc cut over alleged rule of law breaches, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Tuesday.
Speaking after his victory in Hungary, Orbán addressed the EU directly are claiming a “great victory” in Sunday’s general election for his Fidesz party. The Hungarian leader said: “We have won a great victory — a victory so great you can perhaps see it from the moon and certainly from Brussels.”
It appears clear that Brussels saw the result of the election, in which Orbán’s Fidesz party scored more than 53 percent of the vote, in an election landslide that appeared to surprise both the liberal establishment in Brussels. Retaliation against not only Orbán, but Hungarians as a whole for voting for his conservative government, may now lead to cuts worth millions to Hungarians, with those funds normally going to building roads, funding schools, and environmental protection.
Speaking from Strasbourg, von der Leyen claimed that Hungarian authorities had already been notified of the move which will see Hungary’s portion of EU funds frozen until the country’s government announces legal reforms which fall back in line with the commission’s so-called values, which likely means LGBT education in classrooms and an open borders agenda.
The Commission was given the green light to proceed with the withholding of funds earlier this year when the European Court of Justice held the punitive measures were proportionate and lawful.
“We’ve carefully assessed the result of these questions,” von der Leyen said, responding to a question about the Commission’s latest position. “Our conclusion is we have to move on [to] the next step.”
The dominant left-liberal mainstream has long sought to punish Hungary and Poland over ideological differences related to migration, LGBT issues, family values, and border security. One of the key players aligned against Hungary, the billionaire oligarch George Soros — who backs a well-funded web of NGOs, media and lobbyists — wrote in 2020 about his desire to punish Hungary using a sanctions mechanism.
“I call on the EU to make Hungary a test case,” Soros wrote in a statement urging Brussels to use sanctions against the country.
Orbán, who has long opposed Soros, has been clear about the threat he poses to Europe, writing in 2020, “The greatest threat to national self-determination today is the global network of open society advocates which seek to abolish national governance. The goals of George Soros’s network with unlimited financial and human resources are clear. By accelerating migration, they will create mixed-ethnicity, open societies in order to dismantle national decision-making and put it in the hands of the global elite.”
The sanctions against Hungary represent the first time the European Commission has used the mechanism against a member state, which was introduced in 2020 after both Hungary and Poland launched legal proceedings to question its legality.
EU commissioner for Budget and Administration Johannes Hahn also announced that he will “take action with Hungary and set the mechanism in motion – because of suspicions of corruption and problems with public procurement.”
The EU, sensing that it cannot defeat Orban at the polls, could now be looking to impoverish the country.
In response, Hungarian cabinet minister Gergely Gulyás slammed the Commission in the Hungarian press for effectively punishing voters for reelecting Viktor Orbán in Sunday’s general election. He questioned the timing of the decision, and called on the commission to stop attempting to meet the needs of the now-defeated Hungarian left and to return to common sense.
The process of cutting Hungary’s EU funds is expected to take time, and there will be much back-and-forth between Brussels and Budapest. Any funding cut or reduction needs a “qualified majority” to pass, which means 55 percent of the EU countries adding up to 65 percent of the EU’s population need to remove Hungary’s funds. It is likely that the EU could find the votes, but such an end result is not set in stone.

Ahhhhh … backlash when Jews don’t get their way. What a surprise.
I don’t think so you have clear sight what is going in Hungary. As article truly states Hungary is a conservative country which is reject all non Christian ideology such as LMBTQ and Islam came with illegal migrants in western EU. Hungarians adhere to their traditions and Christianity. Anything that destroys this value system. They reject the rise of liberal ideology, which is nothing more than an attempt to control the stupid masses.This is why they are under political attack, according to which the EU is blackmailing the Hungarian government for various reasons. This is nothing more than the dictatorial aspiration of liberalised, brainwashed, influenced (i.e., blackmailed) EU leaders. It is no coincidence that this government receives a majority vote for the fourth time, because the Hungarians understand and see that bad things do not happen in Hungary, but in the EU leadership. More than half of the EU leaders are in the hands of the Soros network, for which there is evidence, not one.The solution is to reform the EU, not to rot the other EU Member States in this mess. You just have to wake them up and tell them to keep an eye on the signals. Let them understand what the Hungarians have been measuring for a long time.
Greetings from Hungary
Hey Robbie: Either Viktor Orban is afraid to leave the criminal Communist E.U.S.S.R. because
“JUDEA” has dirt on him, like virtually all of the politicians who arse kiss their way to the top, the most notorious “pimp” of “JUDEA” was the simple minded halfwit “Professor” Woodrow “woodenhead” Wilson who totally sold out to the Shekel for $42,000 Dollars because the “Creatures” had dirt on “woodenhead” that “might” have ended his political career, so for $42,000 Dollars “woodenhead” Wilson stabbed America and the American people in the back and the world has paid in blood ever since, or Viktor Orban knows that if Hungary leaves the hated Communist E.U.S.S.R. Hungary’s economic options are limited, so Viktor Orban’s way of thinking would be:”Better the Devil you know.”
But hopefully, Viktor knows that the hated criminal Communist E.U.S.S.R. are living on borrowed time. Hey Robbie: Ursula von Der Leyen is acting on “All The World’s A Stage” as though Ursula is literally:”The Queen of Heaven,” Heaven Forbid!!!” Ursula takes her orders from her Boss (The Bureau of State Security) George “Two and Eight-Four by Two” Sorostein, who takes his orders from his Overlords International Finance who literally believe they own the planet. Hey Robbie: In the
criminal Communist E.U.S.S.R. the cronies of International Finance all kiss each others ARSE, and more besides.
The Jewish communist’s arrogance has greatly outgrown their power.
Hey Kalin Flouney: The “Jewish” Communist’s power has outgrown their arrogance, but always remember Kalin:Arrogance will always sow the seeds of it’s own correction.
It blows my mind why Hungary don’t leave the EU. They would be welcome in the CIS and feel more “at home” there than in the EU. If they cling to the EU for financial benefits, a bad surprise is waiting for them.
