1/2 "This did not emerge organically; it was politicians who began to stoke it. According to the lawyer, it is interesting that although former Prime Minister Viktor #Orbán had consistently used the term “Hungarians of #Felvidék” in the past, this did not bother Robert #Fico. Now that Orbán is no longer prime minister, the term has suddenly started to bother the coalition parties."

Felvidék–what's behind the term that has once again put Slovak-Hungarian relations on edge?

Péter Magyar clashed with the Slovak government over the Beneš Decrees while still in opposition, but it was his use of the term “Felvidék” that drew the most criticism. Lawsuits have since been filed over this issue. Experts believe that Slovaks and Hungarians should finally understand each other’s grievances, and that politicians should stop fuelling tensions.

Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, will der Europarat Auffanglager für Asylbewerbende ausserhalb Europas schaffen und die EU-Kommission will queerfeindliche Konversionstherapien in der EU nicht verbieten, weil dies 18 Jahre Verhandlungen mit Mitgliedstaaten nach sich zöge.

Das sind die neuesten Nachrichten, auf die ich leider heute auf Mastodon gestossen bin.

Nun ja, wir können diese Kackvereine auch gleich abschaffen, wenn sie meinen, sie müssten auf Orbán machen.🖕🇪🇺

Wie soll man #Kickl vertrauen?

Kaum schaut man mal weg, setzt Kickl auch schon einen Vertrag auf (Wiener Erklärung) holt dafür seinen FaschoFreund #Orban und lässt sich ablichten.

And then there is #Bulgaria recently fresh from the voting booth: It seems that #Radev who formed a fragile coalition is ready to step into #Orban's shoes inside the #EU

"After years of political turmoil, Bulgarians appear to have elected a government that could finally break the country’s political deadlock — one defined by fragile coalitions, snap elections, and anti-corruption protests.

The winner is the Progressive Bulgaria party of Rumen Radev, which secured around 45 percent of the vote on a promise to dismantle the all-pervasive “mafia state” he says has been undermining the EU’s least developed member.

Radev has opposed military aid to Ukraine and long cultivated a more accommodating line toward Moscow than most EU leaders. He has also previously described Crimea as “Russian,” even while formally condemning Russia’s full-scale invasion."

Bulgarian Elections May Have Just Brought Another Russian Trojan Horse Into EU Security

In this week’s edition, you’ll read about:

how we cee it.

#Hungary is starting off on its way to closer ties with the #EU with a bang:

"Hungary has quietly expelled Artur Sushkov, a 36-year-old Russian SVR officer posing as a third secretary at the Russian Embassy in Budapest, who spent years networking inside the think-tanks and academic institutions closest to the Orbán government — running informants, recruiting assets, and vacuuming up everything from political intelligence to the Wi-Fi password. The expulsion came months after Hungary's own counterintelligence service had recommended it: the Orbán government blocked the move earlier this year, unwilling to irritate Moscow in the middle of the election campaign. Sushkov and his wife were finally put on a plane on May 4 — weeks after Orbán's defeat removed the political shield that had kept a Russian spy in Budapest."

The Think-Tank Spy: Russian Diplomat Infiltrating Orbán's Right-Wing Elite Quietly Expelled - VSquare.org

A Russian spy who spent years infiltrating think-tanks and academic institutions close to the Orbán government was sent home from Budapest — but only after Viktor Orbán's electoral defeat removed the political obstacle that had shielded the operative for months.
