Hope this will tilt the Hungarian vote even more against autocrat lover Victor Orban.

Spoiler alert: it won’t. If you drive through Hungary (which we sometimes do) you notice anti-EU ads literally everywhere and he also controls the traditional media outlets so the news bias should be off the charts. My guess is that they’ll frame it like Ursula being a bully and withholding what is rightfully theirs because they don’t like the way Orban protects his citizens. Unfortunately…

I’m always surprised that this kind of rhetoric works. If the EU were such a big bully, nothing would stop Hungary from just leaving. Like, at some point you’d have to ask yourself why a supposedly competent and well-meaning leader keeps you in a relarionship with an entity that allegedly only wants the worst for you.

If the EU were such a big bully, nothing would stop Hungary from just leaving.

Hungary is landlocked. Serbia is on its way into the EU.

The EU could be a bully that is so big that they cannot be left.
